Synthesis of the Evaluation Series of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's Emergency Preparedness and Response (2012 ¨C 2015)
This report synthetized the findings, conclusions and recommendations from four strategic evaluations related to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR): the global Logistics Cluster (2012), the global Food Security Cluster (2014), Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's use of pooled funds for humanitarian preparedness and response (2015) and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's Preparedness and Response Enhancement Programme (PREP) (2015).

Findings from these strategic evaluations were cross referenced and validated against seven Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ operation evaluations and the inter-agency humanitarian evaluation of the typhoon Haiyan response.

The evaluations found that Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's EPR strengthening and coordination activities were highly relevant and contributed to positive results and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has made relevant investments in EPR. However, constraints continue to limit the implementation of EPR-related reforms. The synthesis offers four strategy recommendations covering human resources, knowledge management, investment in preparedness and involvement in the global humanitarian reform process.
