Organizational Context
The Pilot Programmatic Partnership (PPP) is a highly innovative programme with a duration of 3 years and a global geographical scope, which includes a reach of 24 countries1 across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas for implementation, 13 EU NS supporting partners and IFRC country/cluster/regional delegations, and an overall global aspect.
All of PPPโs activities are founded on the IFRC Strategy 2030, and the strategic priorities and targets are highlighted in IFRCโs Plan and Budget 2021-2025, as agreed with DG ECHO so as to pursue a strategic approach.
The overall objective of the PPP is to ensure communities and individuals are taking action to anticipate, prepare for and respond to and recover from humanitarian and health crises. Central to the PPP is also a Theory of Change focusing on five pillars that enable the strengthening of National Societiesโ auxiliary role and operational capacity. The five pillars are:
- Disaster preparedness and response
- Epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response
- Supporting people on the move
- Cash and voucher assistance
- Risk communication, community engagement and accountability
Beyond the programmatic objective, the PPP objectives were manyfold:
- to deliver on the localization commitments of the Grand Bargain;
- to match field realities of protracted crisis with longer term predictable funding, facilitating actions and processes with greater impact;
- to leverage the global IFRC network capacities and unique access to people and communities;
- to contribute to the ambitions of the EU as the biggest donor for international aid in the world and towards IFRC Strategy 2030;
- to increase efficiencies through economies of scale (i.e. not a collection of projects);
- to support implementation of the New Way of Working (NWOW), joint initiative of the IFRC, EUNS with DG ECHO Certification and NS of countries of implementation.
This final evaluation will integrate insights from previous reviews and seek adaptative measures, where applicable, for the integration of the PPP into regular programming to ensure a smooth transition and exit strategy for the programme.
