ALNAP: Real-time Evaluations of Humanitarian Action - A guide

Real-time evaluation (RTE) is probably one of the most demanding types of evaluation practice, requiring not only a wide range of skills from evaluators but also a tightly focused professional approach in order to meet the time demands of an RTE. However, RTEs are not about doing regular evaluation work faster. Approaches in RTEs must be different from those in regular evaluations because of the limited time available to make an evaluative judgement.

This pilot guide is intended to help both evaluation managers and team leaders in commissioning, overseeing and conducting real-time evaluations of humanitarian operational responses. Drawing on a synthesis of existing good practices, it is intended as a flexible resource that can be adapted to a variety of contexts.
