| dc.description.abstract | The overall objective of this evaluation is to assess
UNHCR's response to the influx of refugees from
Syria into Turkey from 1 January 2014 to 30 June
2015. It considers the extent to which predetermined objectives were met, including reasons
for success or failure, it identifies protection and
assistance gaps, and which factors in the program
design and implementation led to optimal results.
Importantly, it does not cover non-Syrian refugees
in Turkey, cross-border operations from Turkey
into Syria, or onward and transitory movement to
Europe.
Led by Universalia Management Group, the
evaluation took place in Geneva and Turkey from
December 2015 to March 2016. The evaluation
team interviewed a very wide range of UNHCR
officials in all field locations, as well as Turkish
national and local authorities, UN agencies, donors,
international and national non-governmental
organizations, and academics. For reasons
explained in the report, the evaluation team only
had limited exchanges with Syrian refugees inside
and outside camps. | en_US |
