The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC)〔()〕 was a unique learning and accountability initiative in the relief and development sector. It was first established in February 2005 to carry out joint evaluations of the response to the Asian earthquake and tsunamis of 26 December 2004. The TEC had over 50 member agencies from the United Nations, Donors, Non-Governmental Organisations and the Red Cross. These organisations have been working together since the TEC was established to: ; *To improve policy and practice in the relief and rehabilitation sector. ; *To provide some accountability to both the donor and recipient public. ; *To improve evaluation in the relief and rehabilitation sector by learning from the TEC process itself. ==Need for evaluation== Evaluation is needed in humanitarian aid to maintain the quality of the response, as there is no commercial feedback mechanism as with running a business, or direct political feedback as with running local services. Evaluation helps to provide aid managers and policy-makers with feedback on how well the whole humanitarian system is doing. The TEC was the most significant evaluation effort in the humanitarian sector since the Joint Evaluation〔()〕 of the response to the Rwanda Crisis in 1994, and followed in the footsteps of Study 3 〔()〕 of that evaluation which examined humanitarian aid and its effects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsunami Evaluation Coalition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
