4. METHODOLOGY IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis The applied methods for IA RTE shall be light and participatory. The evaluation will be conducted by teams comprising independent consultants, with the possibility that members of the IASC IA RTE Support Group will participate. The evaluation will be carried out through analyses of various sources of information including desk reviews; field visits; interviews with key stakeholders (affected population, UN, / I/NGOs, donors, governments) and through cross‐ validation of data. While maintaining independence, the evaluation will seek the views of all parties, especially the affected population. Evaluation teams will serve as ‘facilitators’, encouraging and assisting field personnel, both individually and collectively, to look critically at their operations and find creative solutions to problems. The IA RTE will be a one‐phase approach, which would carried out within the two first month and consist of remote monitoring and the IA RTE mission to Pakistan In order to best prepare the consultants / consultant team for the upcoming evaluation, members of the IA RTE Support Group remotely monitored the response and gathered relevant information since the onset of the emergency. Data has been gathered along the main questions set out in the IA RTE Framework (see below) and consist of: e.g. Situation Reports, Needs Assessment Reports, Key Messages, timelines of key decisions, timelines of cluster activation, timelines of the funding status, exit surveys, and main contact lists of key humanitarian stakeholders. The data will be handed over confidentially to the consultant team to carry out a desk review well in advance of the field mission. 5. FOCUS & ‘IA RTE FRAMEWORK’ Main Focus The evaluation will first identify the extent to which the overall response achieved or did not achieve key objectives including addressing in a timely and meaningful way the needs of all Riccardo Polastro, Aatika Nagrah, Nicolai Steen and Farwa Zafar 64
IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis segments of the affected population. Deductive analysis will then guide the evaluators to the other elements and dimension (as displayed in the IA RTE Framework below) on which the evaluation should specifically focus. In general, the IA RTE will focus in large part on the effectiveness and efficiency of the coordination and management systems, addressing critical issues related to both the provision of relief and to the transition to recovery. IA RTE Framework, including Key Issues & Key Questions The IA RTE Framework is a model that intends to display crucial characteristics of an ‘ideal humanitarian response’. It was developed to be applied for natural disasters and rapid external evaluation. Moreover, the Framework serves a communication tool between all stakeholders and can therefore be slightly adapted to local issues and relevant opportunities for learning. The IA RTE Framework intends to provide the evaluators and the HCT with guidance on the most critical questions and issues to be evaluated. Ideally, the IA RTE Framework should be shared with all relevant stakeholders. It is expected that evaluators use the Framework as main reference tool for their assessment. To reiterate, evaluators should try to first focus on the outputs and outcomes of the humanitarian response at the level of the affected population, especially by answering one of the main questions of the Framework – “How adequate was the response as a whole, and what operational results as well as positive and negative outcomes for the affected population did it produce?”. Deductive analysis should then guide the evaluators to the other relevant dimensions as outlined below in the Framework.
