  • The Humanitarian- Development Nexus – What Do Evaluations Have to Say?
    Working The Humanitarian- Paper Development Nexus – What do evaluations have to say? Mapping and synthesis of evaluations February 2018 About the UNEG Humanitarian Evaluation Interest Group (HEIG) The Humanitarian Evaluation Interest Group (HEIG) was established at the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Annual General meeting in 2015 under Strategic Objective 3 – Evaluation informs UN system-wide initiatives and emerging demands – in recognition that the specificities of humanitarian evaluation merited further and focused attention by UNEG, especially in its normative work. The interest group was established in response to a perceived need within UNEG for a space that could bring together humanitarian evaluation practitioners within the UNEG network. This HEIG is currently focusing on two areas of work: i) humanitarian principles – having commissioned a study looking at how humanitarian principles are reflected in evaluations and how this practice could be strengthened in the future; and ii) on the humanitarian-development nexus (the subject of this paper). The HEIG is currently co-convened by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Evaluation Service and the World Food Programme (WFP) Office of Evaluation. It includes representatives of the offices of evaluation of the following agencies: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); International Organization for Migration (IOM); United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA); United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA); UNHCR; United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI); United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA); UNWOMEN; WFP; World Health Organization (WHO); and Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance (ALNAP) in an observer role.
