There will be strong pressure to account for the results of the massive aid efforts currently underway in Haiti. Evaluation of the earthquake recovery efforts, if done right, can contribute to learning and support accountability for the results on the ground. The DAC Network on Development Evaluation has joined forces with the UNEG, and the ALNAP to ensure a coherent approach to evaluation in Haiti. Interested partners are invited to join this effort at a meeting in London, 18 – 19 May 2010.
