Following these humanitarian crisis, substantial humanitarian assistances is being provided to the affected population through various humanitarian partners to reduce the scale of the problem. As a matter of fact, large areas and population segments of Tigray Region have been under constant humanitarian assistance due to food insecurity both chronic and acute for the last 12 years. The UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia (UN-EUE) launched a mission to Tigray National Regional State from 09-22 February 2003 to undertake a quick assessment on the overall humanitarian situation with specific reference to drought relief activities, war affected population such as the condition of remaining IDPs, of deportees such as people that returned from Eritrea and refugees from Eritrea. The mission also looked into the current decentralization process and progress made so far in moving decision making from zonal to woreda level and including the status of preparation for rural resettlement programme planned to be launched in Tigray.

  • Final Evaluation of the IUC Partner Programme with Mekelle University, Ethiopia
    Final evaluation of the IUC partner programme with Mekelle University, Ethiopia July 2013 Ben van Baren & Alemayehu Assefa Foreword This report contains the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the external final evaluation of the Institutional University Cooperation (IUC) Partner Programme (2003 – 2012) with the Mekelle University in Mekelle, Ethiopia. The VLIR-UOS IUC programme is an interuniversity cooperation programme of Flemish universities that started in 1999. Based on a system of programme funding provided by the Belgian government, the IUC is directed at a limited number of partner universities in the South. Each partnership, covering two five-year periods, consists of a coherent set of policies and actions aiming at the improvement of research, teaching and service provision of the partner university as well as the strengthening of its institutional functioning. The IUC programmes are evaluated mid-term and, after their finalization, by an external evaluation team consisting normally of an international and a local expert. The present evaluation was carried out by Mr Ben van Baren, international consultant and Mr Alemayehu Aseffa, national consultant. Guiding document for the evaluation were extensive terms of reference provided by VLIR-UOS. Self- assessments by both northern and southern programme management on the overall programme and by the mixed project teams on the different individual projects provided the basic information on the results and achievements of the programme on which the evaluation team could build further through analysis of programme and project documents like programme proposals and annual plans and reports and through interviews and field visits. Prior to the field mission the evaluation team leader was briefed by VLIR-UOS in Brussels where he also interviewed all programme and project responsible persons from the Flemish side.
