9 ‐ Annexes Annex 1: Terms of Reference IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis INTER‐AGENCY REAL‐TIME EVALUATION (IA RTE) OF THE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE TO FLOODS IN PAKISTAN 1. INTRODUCTION & RATIONALE Terms of Reference 5 January 2011 IA RTEs are an initiative of the Inter‐Agency Standing Committee IASC). An IA RTE can be defined as an evaluation carried out at the early implementation stages of a humanitarian operation which almost simultaneously feeds back findings for immediate use by the broader humanitarian community, particularly at the field level. An IA RTE is primarily intended for sudden‐onset disasters, or protracted crises undergoing a phase of rapid deterioration or escalating violence. These evaluations differ from other forms of humanitarian evaluation in their speed, coverage, methods, and outputs. IA RTEs are typified by their shared management and methodological oversight through global and national level inter‐agency support, management groups and in‐country Advisory Groups; speed of mobilization, feedback and follow‐up; light, agile approaches; restricted scope; and participatory methods. Ideally, IA RTEs seek to unlock inter‐agency coordination problems or operational bottlenecks and provide real‐ time learning to the field. The IASC IA RTE Support Group 39 has agreed to carry out an IA RTE in Pakistan since the humanitarian emergency meets the selection criteria identified by the IASC as automatic triggers. According to the ‘automatic trigger criteria’ endorsed by IASC Working Group in July 39 Members in the IASC IA RTE SG are: UNICEF, UNDP, INGOs (Care, Oxfam for ECB/SCHR), IFRC, FAO, WFP, OCHA, ALNAP.

IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis 2010, an IA RTE is triggered if more than 1 million individuals are affected and if the Flash Appeal asks for more than 50$ million US Dollars. In the case of Pakistan, the August 2010 Pakistan Initial Floods Emergency Response Plan identified the affected population as 14 million and the total funding requested was at 459$ million US Dollars. 2. BACKGROUND TO THE CURRENT CRISIS Over the course of the 2010 monsoon season, Pakistan experienced the worst floods in its history. Heavy rainfall, flash floods and riverine floods combined to create a moving body of water equal in dimension to the land mass of the United Kingdom. The floods have affected 84 districts out of a total of 121 districts in Pakistan, and more than 20 million people – one-tenth of Pakistan’s population – devastating villages from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. More than 1,700 men, women and children have lost their lives, and at least 1.8 million homes have been damaged or destroyed. Since heavy rainfall and flash floods claimed their first victims, flood waves continue to devastate the southern province of Sindh, where the full extent of losses and damages may not be known for several more weeks. 3. OBJECTIVES AND USE The IA RTE team will be deployed during the current response phase, ideally in January/ February. The IA RTE will aim to provide snapshots of current situations, including real‐time feedback and learning to the HCT: (local IASC, Cluster, NGO’s, Government, NGO’s involved in the humanitarian response – at Federal, District and Provincial level). The main objective of the IA RTE is to assess the current response to date and provide real time feedback and input into on‐ going decision making in the field. This will enable the adoption of corrective actions as needed and demonstrate a visible capacity for the humanitarian system as a whole to learn lessons. The evaluation will in this way support the ongoing operational planning of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), which will be the most immediate user of the feedback and recommendations.
