The crisis in Syria has entered its eighth year and affected the entire region. Economic, political and civic turmoil affects everyone, children and adults alike. Save the Children has been responding to the crisis in Syria by providing life-saving support to affected girls and boys, adolescents, their caregivers and communities in Syria and neighbouring countries, including: Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.
Since January 2014, an important funding source of Save the Children’s response has been the contribution made through Appeal Funds raised by Save the Children Members from the general public. Totalling more than USD 23.9 million, these funds have facilitated the delivery of critical life-saving support across the six country responses; generated huge leverage of institutional funding and facilitate the implementation of the regional response strategy; including strategic investments in country office capacity building and critical staff costs. Save the Children Syria Response Pooled funding mechanism has allowed innovation, appropriate contingency to respond to a major escalation including for example of the fall of Aleppo city, to cover key gaps in programming etc.
End of September 2019, the Syria Pooled Funding mechanism will be ending and Middle East and Eastern Europe Regional Office is commissioning meta evaluation with the main objective to assess the collective results of the Syria Pooled Funding instrument for the children and communities affected by Syria crisis.
The main objective of this evaluation is to understand the impact of Syria Pooled Fund mechanism on the lives of the children and communities which were affected by Syria crisis. This will help SC International and SC members to be accountable to the people and communities, and generate learning for improved response mechanism based on what worked in case of Syria from the perspective of the results achieved. Previous review was conducted in 2016, however, unlike the current review, it mostly covered financial and managerial aspects of the pooled fund.
This is an impact summative evaluation, covering the period from 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2019, and focusing on following countries: Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, as well as MEEE Regional Office. The total budget of Syria Pooled Fund, which was allocated through 95 separate allocations equals more than more than USD 23.9 million.
