Synthesis Report: Expanded Summary - Joint evaluation of the international response to the Indian Ocean tsunami

This summary report reviews the recommendations made in the TEC's Synthesis Report, which is based on the five thematic evaluations undertaken by TEC member agencies during 2005/06. These focus on: coordination of the international humanitarian response; the role of needs assessment in the tsunami response; the impact of the response on local and national capacities; links between relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD); and the funding response to the tsunami. The Synthesis draws together learning and recommendations contained in these TEC studies as well as over 170 additional reports. It is published alongside these five studies, together with a CD Rom of all TEC reports, making a set of six.
