HHI’s Program on Evaluation and Implementation Science serves as a focal point for developing evidence-based strategies to effectively help individuals, families, and populations in times of war, conflict, and disaster. The program focuses on research and training through both macro and micro perspectives. At the macro perspective, HHI researchers are leading the development of a world-wide monitoring and evaluation system (Peacebuildingdata.org) to assess local community needs, monitor progress, and measure impact (see the Vulnerable Populations program). At the micro level, HHI collaborates with non-governmental organizations, UN agencies, and other international humanitarian organizations, as well as local civil society organizations, to develop monitoring and evaluation research for their specific programs.
HHI has conducted research and evaluation projects related to war and disaster in the following countries: Angola, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Uganda.
