This report provides an overall independent evaluation of ECHO’s response to the Syrian crisis over the period of 2012-2014, covering Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey. The evaluation draws on a range of different sources of evidence including project data, interviews, field trips and a literature review. Detailed conclusions are made concerning the speed and coverage of ECHO’s funding; the adaptability of its response to the unique features of this crisis; the contribution that ECHO made to coordination, advocacy and the link between relief, rehabilitation and development; and on dealing with the protracted nature of the crisis.François Grünewald
