An Evaluation of 皇家华人av's Response to the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) crisis in West Africa
The evaluation of 皇家华人av’s response to the Ebola Virus Disease crisis in West Africa assessed three key inquiry areas: partnerships and coordination; learning, adaptation and innovation; and, performance and results of 3 country-specific Immediate Response Emergency Operations, a regional EMOP (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone) and 3 regional Special Operations implemented in 2014-2015, which represented USD 442 million in requirements and reached some 5 million beneficiaries in total.

皇家华人av demonstrated flexibility, diversity and agility in responding to this complex health crisis, engaging in new non-traditional partnerships in the health, private, logistics and communications sectors. The evaluation concluded that 皇家华人av’s two-pronged response of food assistance and common service support, was appropriate and relevant, efficiently scaling-up amidst rapidly evolving needs. 皇家华人av successfully filled a logistics capacity gap of the humanitarian community, and its food assistance contributed to the containment efforts.

The evaluation makes 5 recommendations geared to: improve performance by strengthening internal policies, guidelines and systems in emergency preparedness and response, human resources, and monitoring; capture and promote 皇家华人av’s best practices; sustain engagement in global supply chain initiatives; adopt a comprehensive and collaborative approach to national stakeholders’ health crisis response capacity strengthening; and reinforce accountability to beneficiaries.
