• To what extent have aid priorities reflected the most pressing needs of economic reconstruction (e.g., of small island port facilities)? 3 Approach and method The evaluation shall be carried out in two steps, each ending with a separate report. Step one – the documentary study – will be an analytical compilation of existing evaluations, results reports and other relevant studies on relief, recovery and development interventions related to the tsunami disaster. Step two – the field study – will be based on interviews and observations in the three countries. Its final design will depend on the conclusions, identified gaps and need for supporting evidence from the documentary study. A final synthesis report will be produced based on the two steps of the evaluation. 3.1 The documentary study – Step one A large number of evaluations and other studies on the progress of the rehabilitation and reconstruction after the disaster have been conducted by international organisations and domestic agencies. After the TEC evaluation synthesis report no comprehensive summary of such reports has been done. In order to both get an overview of reported results up to now and to compile experiences from particularly the recovery and reconstruction efforts, LRRD2 shall begin with a documentary study. The consultant shall obtain, as far as possible, information on all available studies from international and domestic organisations, national and local authorities, and research institutions that provide results or analyses progress and problems regarding recovery and reconstruction efforts related to the disaster. The documents study shall concentrate on the three countries but also include other studies that are deemed relevant. On the basis on the material collected the consultant shall prepare a report summarising results in the most appropriate way, taking into consideration whether the sources aim to report on output or outcome or even impact. The quality and coverage of the sources shall be examined according to criteria that the consultant shall propose and any reservations the consultant may have regarding quality shall be discussed in the report. The report shall be organised so that it is possible to present country specific results and conclusions. The consultant shall analyse the reported results along the dimensions set out in section 2.2 above and discuss apparent drawbacks and achievements. Finally the documentary study shall indicate areas and issues where the field study may be able to fill obvious voids and provide additional knowledge. The draft report from the documentary study shall be presented and discussed on at least one workshop in the region. 134
In order to obtain relevant material the consultant may have to travel in the region or engage national consultants or institutions to collect and examine reports. 3.2 The field study – Step two The purpose of the field study is to update and complement the information from the documentary study and to ascertain that the views of beneficiaries and other stakeholders – donors, implementing national or international organisations and national authorities – are sufficiently included in the follow-up evaluation. Particular emphasis shall be put on the views of the immediately affected population and of government and local authorities in the three countries. If surveys are proposed they should be designed so comparisons are possible with the surveys conducted in LRRD1. 8 The data collection methods for the field study will be interviews and observations. Ahead of the field study the consultant shall submit a revised Inception Report proposing a suitable approach and data collection methods in view of the findings of the first step. Care must be taken to clearly indicate principles for the selection of interview sources also when no formal samples are planned. 4 The evaluation team The LRRD2 evaluation shall be carried out by a team of consultants, which are independent from the financing and implementing organisations as well as national authorities governing the operations. The composition of the team may differ between the two steps in the evaluation but it is essential that the team leader remains the same and that national consultants are included in both steps. It is also required that the team for each stage is comprised of both men and women. The team leader shall have extensive, proven capacity to lead evaluations, preferably of disaster and reconstruction interventions, and to deliver reports of good quality. Additional assets will be experience from the three countries included in the evaluation and experience from evaluations in conflict areas. The majority of the team members shall have experience from evaluations as team member or team leader. One or more team members shall have experience from documentary studies, i.e. retrieving and summarising in an analytical way vast quantities of written material, from quantitative and qualitative research, beneficiary surveys, and statistical methods. Particularly during step two it is important that the team comprises members with good evaluation and/or research experience from each of the three countries included in the evaluation. 8 A proper panel study, i.e. going back to people previously interviewed is not possible, but it is probably feasible to select populations which are reasonably similar to the previous samples. 135
