1. 12-Oct-15 The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition

2. 12-Oct-15 The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC) January 2005: Several agencies discussed with ALNAP how to coordinate a tsunami evaluation effort to maximise learning while minimising duplication. February 2005: An ensuing meeting in Geneva led to the foundation of the TEC (guided by a CMG; hosted by ALNAP).

3. 12-Oct-15 What are the TEC’s objectives? Level 1 Purpose To promote a sector wide approach to evaluations of tsunami response in order to optimise sector wide learning. Level 2 Purpose To develop and validate procedures for future establishment of such a coordination mechanism.

4. 12-Oct-15 Who is in it? As with ALNAP the TEC includes: Bilateral Donors UN agencies NGOs and the Red Cross Movement

5. 12-Oct-15 Type of participation? First level: Individual agency evaluations (reports for synthesis). Sharing ToRs and lessons (Online Forum: www.alnap.org/tec). Evaluation map: who, what, where, when. Second level: Working together on five joint thematic evaluations (cross- cutting for all). Reducing number of agency evaluations (eg, OCHA, WHO, UNDP). Commitment to follow up on findings. Joint evaluations Managing Thematic Evaluations Steering Thematic Evaluations Supporting Thematic Evaluations

6. 12-Oct-15 Five joint thematic evaluations Coordination (incl civil-military issues) Impact on local and national capacities Needs assessments Linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD) Funding study Each thematic evaluation is financed by a series of bilateral donors, UN agencies, and - in some cases - NGOs and the Red Cross.

9. Significant new learning and accountability initiative: New model: multi-partner; decentralised & ‘distributed’. Paradigm shift towards joint evaluations / value added. Responsive to need to reduce evaluative burden.

10. 12-Oct-15 How Jointly is ‘Joint’? Hybrid multi- partner (Distributed evaluation) Participation is open to all stakeholders (classic). Implementation is decentralised & distributed – ie, devolved to different partners in the evaluations. (lead agency; steering committee; working group) Various levels of linkage between separate but parallel and inter-related evaluations. Learning is synthesised at the central level.
