Tsunami Evaluation Coalition

The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC) was a unique learning and accountability initiative in the relief and development sector. It was first established in February 2005 to carry out joint evaluations of the response to the Asian earthquake and tsunamis of 26 December 2004.

The TEC had over 50 member agencies from the United Nations, Donors, Non-Governmental Organisations and the Red Cross. These organisations have been working together since the TEC was established to:

  • To improve policy and practice in the relief and rehabilitation sector.
  • To provide some accountability to both the donor and recipient public.
  • To improve evaluation in the relief and rehabilitation sector by learning from the TEC process itself.

Famous quotes containing the word evaluation:

    Evaluation is creation: hear it, you creators! Evaluating is itself the most valuable treasure of all that we value. It is only through evaluation that value exists: and without evaluation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, you creators!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
