PO 6567 - Evaluation of the technical assistance component of DFID India's Education Portfolio The purpose of this evaluation is to capture the extent to which DFID TA and/or TA in conjunction with financial assistance (FA) is working effectively to transfer useful knowledge, skills and practices to key personnel in India’s secondary education school delivery system that ultimately improve teaching and learning outcomes. The evaluation is neither a typical programme evaluation, nor a traditional baseline-midline-endline impact assessment. Instead, it is a portfolio evaluation of the TA component of the five education programmes, aiming to see how there are interlinkages or synergies which can support learning on how to make the sum greater than its parts.

Hurricane Eta - Emergency Response - IFRC 2020 Ouragan Eta - Intervention d'urgence - FICR 2020 November 2020 - Hurricane Eta made landfall in Central America on November 3 as a powerful Category 4 storm. The resulting rainfalls and persistent flooding has affected hundreds of thousands of people in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and other surrounding countries. To date, rising river levels and landslides have caused over 100 deaths, led approximately 60,000 people to seek shelter, and destroyed important health and social infrastructure, including major hospitals. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is coordinating with National Societies in the region to help support emergency medical services and aid distribution, in areas most affected by the storm. .  With GAC’s support, National Societies are working to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by Hurricane Eta. Project activities include: (1) providing essential household items and emergency shelter; (2) distributing safe water and hygiene kits; and (3) scaling up emergency medical services. Novembre 2020 - L'ouragan Eta a touché terre en Amérique centrale le 3 novembre sous la forme d'une puissante tempête de catégorie 4. Les précipitations et les inondations persistantes qui en ont découlé ont touché des centaines de milliers de personnes au Guatemala, au Honduras, au Nicaragua et dans d'autres pays voisins. À ce jour, la montée du niveau des rivières et les glissements de terrain ont causé la mort de plus de 100 personnes, conduit environ 60 000 personnes à chercher un abri et détruit d'importantes infrastructures sanitaires et sociales, notamment de grands hôpitaux. La Fédération internationale des sociétés de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge (FICR) coordonne ses mesures avec celles des Sociétés nationales de la région afin d'aider les services médicaux d'urgence et la distribution de l'aide, dans les zones les plus touchées par la tempête.  Avec l’appui d’AMC, les Sociétés nationales s'efforcent de sauver des vies et de contribuer à réduire les souffrances des personnes touchées par l'ouragan Eta. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) la fourniture d'articles ménagers essentiels et d'abris d'urgence; 2) la distribution d'eau potable et de kits d'hygiène; 3) le renforcement des services médicaux d'urgence.
