Evaluation Of UNHCR’s Level-3 Emergency Response to Cyclone Idai

In March and April 2019, southern Africa was hit by two consecutive cyclones (Idai and Kenneth) that affected an estimated 3 million people in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. In Mozambique, some 1.85 million people were in need of humanitarian assistance; in Malawi, severe floods affected 870,000 people, including causing 87,000 displaced. UNHCR’s Evaluation Service assessed UNHCR’s response to this "perfect storm" to identify lessons that can be extrapolated to other disaster responses and, with a broader perspective, to provide inputs into UNHCR’s ongoing reflection about climate change and disaster induced displacement.
