Consultant to undertake a process review of British Red Cross’ Typhoon Haiyan Response and Recovery programme
Refusing to ignore people in crisis
We seek a consultant to carry out a Response and Recovery Review of the British Red Cross’ response to Typhoon Haiyan. The purpose of the Review is to inform future British Red Cross responses to large emergencies and to inform preparation needed by the British Red Cross in order to effectively respond in the future.
Requirement
In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines as one of the most powerful storms ever to make landfall. With maximum winds of 235 kph and gusts of up to 275 kph, Haiyan devastated many provinces across the regions in Central Visayas, causing extensive damage to buildings and agriculture.
The British Red Cross launched an emergency appeal, and with money from DEC, DFID and other donors, raised a total of £23 million. In the relief phase these funds were used to support the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), IFRC response and Philippines Red Cross (PRC). As part of the recovery phase British Red Cross is working with PRC as one of their bilateral partners in Iloilo Province. The integrated recovery programme in typhoon-affected area of Iloilo Province will continue until March 2016, focusing on Shelter, Economic Security and Livelihoods, WASH, National Society (NS) support and capacity building, health, community preparedness and community resilience. In addition the British Red Cross is supporting other recovery shelter and livelihoods programmes, via funds to IFRC.
At present the following reviews and evaluations are anticipated;
- Response and Recover Process Review
- Mid-Term Review: Iloilo Recovery programme
- End Evaluation: Iloilo Recovery Programme
We are currently seeking a consultant to undertake the Response and Recovery Process Review, with the opportunity for the same consultant to be engaged on all three reviews/evaluations dependent on skills, experience, and work delivered to date as part of the above.
RESPONSE AND RECOVERY PROCESS REVIEW
Purpose: For British Red Cross to learn from their response to Typhoon Haiyan to: a) inform future British Red Cross responses to large emergencies; and b) inform preparation needed by British Red Cross in order to effectively respond in the future.
