Humanitarian Coalition Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

Since 2005 the Humanitarian Coalition a group of Canadian humanitarian organizations has made significant progress towards the institutionalization and formalization of a Canadian joint response mechanism for humanitarian action. With CIDA support the Coalition completed a joint Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework in 2007 based on international experience in evaluation for humanitarian action and with the direct collaboration of experts in this field. This project aims to pilot the M&E Framework during the course of a major humanitarian disaster resulting in a greater focus on learning accountability and transparency as key characteristics of humanitarian action.
