Valid International’s evaluation section was set up in March 1999, with a view to improving humanitarian programme implementation by promoting and carrying out high-quality evaluations with practicable and realistic findings. Valid has also promoted a structured follow up for all evaluations undertaken.
Its two directors, Dr Alistair Hallam and Dr Steve Collins, both have extensive experience of humanitarian aid programme implementation, evaluation and research. Both have managed and designed relief programmes and have led and participated in many evaluations, including the groundbreaking Joint Evaluation of Emergency Assistance to Rwanda, which looked at the international response in the region following the 1994 genocide.
In addition, both have written more widely on humanitarian issues. Alistair Hallam was an Overseas Development Institute (ODI) Research Fellow and authored an ODI Good Practice Review 'Evaluating Humanitarian Assistance Programmes in Complex Emergencies', while Steve Collins has written a number of ground-breaking papers on nutrition in emergencies, published in major international scientific journals.
