The number of people facing acute food insecurity and requiring urgent food, nutrition and livelihoods assistance is rising rapidly. Conflict, climate change and economic shocks, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic, are the main drivers of the increase in hunger globally, whilst soaring prices for basic items are compounding existing pressures on food security. About 9 percent of the world’s population, equivalent to nearly 690 million people, are going hungry every day.

This evaluation has been commissioned by Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), in line with our commitment to learning and accountability to communities and partners. The purpose of this evaluation of the Global Hunger Prevention & Response Programme (GHPR) is to assess overall performance with reference to the outcomes and outputs as well as draw lessons for future programme, both at an individual project level as well as at an aggregate programmatic level where possible.

This evaluation should take into consideration the OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria to assess the performance of the projects, as well as use the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) to evaluate the quality of the interventions and the aspects of accountability. The focus of the evaluation will be on the achievement of the project and programme results with the OECD/DAC evaluation criteria helping to frame the evaluation to assess whether the interventions were relevant, effective, efficient and have coherence and whether the approach followed (either due to the design used or implementation considerations) is likely to result in sustainable results and longer term impact. This evaluation should also pay particular attention to the use of cash programming in order to ascertain its appropriateness and effectiveness.
