Developing a Prototype Handbook for Monitoring and Evaluating Department of Defense Humanitarian Assistance Projects

Abstract

The impetus for the development of a handbook to guide the assessment of military humanitarian assistance (HA) projects came from a January 2008 workshop with combatant command (COCOM) HA managers, "Monitoring and Evaluation of DoD Humanitarian Assistance Programs." Participants felt that a user-friendly handbook to clarify overall monitoring and evaluation (M&E) concepts and to facilitate project assessment would be particularly valuable to those responsible for overseeing the execution of HA projects in the field. Recent policy guidance and the development of this handbook are part of an increased emphasis on assessment across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
