The COVID-19 Global Evaluation Coalition is an independent, collaborative initiative that brings together evaluation units from countries, multilateral institutions, and United Nations organisations. It provides credible evidence to inform international development and humanitarian responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries.
The Coalition evaluates the non-clinical dimensions of the pandemic response -including direct health and socio-economic impacts and recovery efforts- guided by a shared evaluation framework that emphasises coherence, efficiency, impact, and sustainability.
By co-ordinating evaluations and synthesising work led by its members, the Coalition fosters learning across agencies, reduces duplication of effort, and improves the quality, speed, and accessibility of findings. This collective approach helped to enhance coherence across national and multilateral responses and ensure that evidence is more impactful, actionable, and relevant to improve preparedness for future global crises.
