This evaluation covers selected NRC/NORCAP deployments to United Nations (UN) organisations and the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) in Nepal between 25 April 2015, the date of the earthquake, and 31 December 2015. The main users of the results of this evaluation are staff in the Expert Deployment/NORCAP department to inform their planning and programming for future similar interventions.It is expected that this evaluation will also be useful for the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), as a major supporter of NORCAP, and to standby partner focal points in host agencies.
Based on findings from this evaluation, NORCAP was judged to have provided relevant and timely support to operational presence and deliver humanitarian assistance to populations affected by the crisis. NORCAP expert deployments were allocated amongst seven agencies, with most common functional role as part of the Camp Coordination and Camp management (CCCM) cluster led by IOM.
