USAID/OFDA monitors humanitarian assistance programs to ensure that assistance delivered during disaster responses save lives and alleviate human suffering.

Lisa Gabriel, USAID/OFDA

USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) integrates monitoring, evaluation, and learning (ME&L) activities into emergency response and disaster risk reduction programs worldwide to improve the quality of programming, enhance accountability, and ensure that USAID/OFDA-supported assistance is appropriate and effective.

In Fiscal Year 2018, USAID/OFDA ME&L activities included third-party monitoring programs in difficult-to-access areas and external performance evaluations across various contexts. USAID/OFDA’s ME&L support complements and builds upon ME&L work conducted by the partners implementing USAID/OFDA-funded humanitarian programs.
