Evaluation of the Humanitarian Innovation and Evidence Programme (HIEP): Summative Phase 2: Final Report
This report presents evaluation findings on the relevance, effectiveness, impact and value for money of the programme
Abstract
The Department for International Development (DFID) invested £54.6 million into a humanitarian innovation and evidence programme which began in 2013 for initially 5 years and now runs to 2022.
This report presents evaluation findings on its relevance, effectiveness, impact and value for money. The Humanitarian Innovation and Evidence Programme (HIEP) was designed to have an impact on humanitarian actors’ capacity to deliver improved response and resilience programmes that are effective at supporting vulnerable people. It works towards 3 specific outcomes:
-
International donors, including DFID, develop funding instruments and frameworks for investment into evidence, innovation, and its applications.
-
Humanitarian actors change skills, behaviours, relationships, cultures and systems to promote the regular integration of evidence into humanitarian and disaster risk management (DRM) interventions.
-
Policy and practice actors invest in social, economic and political innovations that focus on benefits for poor people in humanitarian crises.
This summative evaluation conducted by Itad, the fourth report in a 5-year evaluation of HIEP that started in 2013, aims to provide both an independent assessment of progress and also to produce learning and recommendations on humanitarian evidence and innovation for DFID and the sector.
