This evaluation was commissioned by the IFRC Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia to assess how effectively community engagement approaches were implemented in the UIC EA, what difference they made, and what is needed to strengthen accountability in future operations. It covers the period from February 2022 to mid-2025 and includes all 17 impacted countries. The evaluation serves three purposes including 1) to inform evidence-based decision-making in ongoing and future emergencies, 2) identify learning that will support more effective and realistic
community engagement across the Movement and 3) assess whether the UIC EA met
accountability to affected people commitments and standards.
