The terms of reference of the evaluation of the WFP's Capacity to Respond to Emergencies aim to inform stakeholders about the evaluation, clarify expectations and requirements and guide the evaluation team in its work during the various phases of the evaluation.

This strategic evaluation assesses WFP’s progress so far in the formulation and initial implementation of Country Strategic Plans (CSPs), in the framework of the Integrated Road Map (IRM).

This report synthetized the findings, conclusions and recommendations from four strategic evaluations related to WFP's Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR): the global Logistics Cluster (2012), the global Food Security Cluster (2014), WFP's use of pooled funds for humanitarian preparedness and response (2015) and WFP's Preparedness and Response Enhancement Programme (PREP) (2015).

This evaluation of the United Nations Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger Undernutrition (REACH) is managed by a joint Evaluation Management Group composed of Evaluation Offices of WFP, FAO, WHO and UNICEF and DFATD Canada. Covering 2011 to 2015, the evaluation focused on the role of the REACH secretariat and its work in Bangladesh, Ghana, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Serving the dual purpose of accountability and learning, it assessed REACH's relevance and appropriateness, performance, the factors explaining results, and sustainability.

This evaluation is part of a series of OEV strategic evaluations on WFP’s emergency preparedness and response. It assessed the contribution of the Preparedness and Response Enhancement Programme 2011-2014 (PREP) to improving WFP’s capability to respond effectively and efficiently to large-scale, corporate level emergencies. The evaluation assessed PREP’s relevance, appropriateness, effectiveness, sustained contribution, supporting and constraining factors.

The summative final evaluation of the WFP’s Purchase for Progress (P4P) pilot initiative (2008–2013), assessed the quality and results of the initiative and the extent these received can be used to inform the implementation of the WFP strategic plan.

This evaluation is part of a series of three strategic evaluations addressing the theme of Emergency Preparedness and Response which also includes the joint FAO/WFP Global Food Security Cluster and the evaluation of the Preparedness and Response Enhancement Program.

This evaluation of food security cluster coordination mechanisms was jointly commissioned by the Offices of Evaluation of WFP and FAO – the cluster’s lead agencies.

This synthesis captures common messages from four Strategic Evaluations about how WFP is progressing in the transition from ‘food aid’ to ‘food assistance’ that was called for in WFP’s 2008–2013 Strategic Plan.
