Evaluation of the Humanitarian System of the Austrian Development Cooperation
Task
On behalf the Austrian Federal Ministry (BMeiA) and in the context of its bilateral cooperation, the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) funds humanitarian interventions which are implemented by multilateral or non-governmental Agencies. The Evaluation should describe and assess in what way the bilateral humanitarian support has been organized and funded by ADA from 2004 to 2008. The evaluation should contribute to the further elaboration of the humanitarian bilateral policy and strategy of the Austrian Foreign Ministry. Furthermore, it should improve the selection criteria for humanitarian interventions and should optimize the cooperation systems with other Austrian actors involved in funding humanitarian interventions.
