These evaluations are conducted in real time from within the timeline of an ongoing response or recovery project. These evaluations directly inform the efficacy of the ongoing work and identify needs to shape early recovery and extended response actions for the protection and wellbeing of affected populations.
Some Examples of Our Work:
Humanitarian CASH Response Project in Odisha, India; Christian Aid (2015)
RedR India conducted the Real-time evaluation (RTE) of Christian Aid’s response work in Orissa in the aftermath of the 2014 floods in partnership with Christian Aid India. Christian Aid was one of the first responders in the field immediately after the floods. The RTE facilitated the comprehensive collection, collation, analysis and dissemination of information in a timely fashion which helped to strengthen the response actions of Christian Aid and its partners.
Cyclone Aila Response, West Bengal, India; Oxfam India (2009)
The Cyclone Aila Response Programme was undertaken in response to the devastation caused by Cyclone Aila and the subsequent sea surges that affected over 5.5 million people in the states of West Bengal and Orissa in India. A total of seventeen (17) districts in West Bengal were devastated and over 500,000 houses were either partially or fully damaged. There was little or no warning for coastal communities to initiate disaster preparedness. After the cyclone, the situation turned worse and the proposed action was directed at addressing improving water, sanitation, hygiene and emergency shelter status of the worst affected, vulnerable households living in 3 blocks in 2 districts.
RedR India had undertaken a Real Time Evaluation(RTE) project along with Oxfam India to implement in 5 Gram Panchayats (GP) and 15 villages under 2 different Rural Development Blocks – Parthapratima and Namkana (district 24 South Paragana) of West Bengal State of India. The programme was planned in response to the devastation caused by the cyclone Aila and the subsequent sea surges that had wiped out all villages in the Sunderban Delta.
South India Flood Response, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, India; Oxfam India (2009)
RedR India undertook the Disaster Response programme in collaboration with Oxfam India when the flash flood hit Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in South India in 2009. An estimated 2 million people have been affected by the floods. The flash floods affected places Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh and Bagalkot district in Karnataka were hit by drought just over a fortnight ago. The main objective of the Real-Time assessment undertaken by RedR India in these locations focused to ascertain humanitarian needs in the badly-affected districts in AP and Karnataka, to get a broader picture about the impact of Floods and to identify sectoral and geographical gaps, to identify the hot spots related to the sectors and geographical areas as samples for assessment and to supplement the findings with the secondary data and to collate the findings of the assessment in the form of a report, for further planning and harmonized actions.
