Putting into practice the humanitarian principle of impartiality – that assistance should be given on the basis of (and in proportion to) need alone – demands both an understanding of what constitutes ‘need’ and a way of measuring it with reasonable consistency. This paper documents the findings of a year-long study into the link between needs assessment and decision-making in the humanitarian sector, which forms part of wider research commissioned by the Montreux group of donors, looking at the current system of international humanitarian financing.

This evaluation of the Liberian emergency programme responds to a request of the UNICEF Representative in Monrovia, and is part of a long standing institutional concern about UNICEFs emergency operations. It sought to identify "corporate lessons" of emergency programmes from Liberia and the surrounding countries - Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Sierra Leone - in the context of the 1990/91 Global Evaluation of Emergencies and the Multi-Donor Evaluation. The evaluation was also an opportunity to support the Liberia Country Office.
