Action Deutschland Hilft is seeking experienced evaluators to conduct an independent evaluation of the “Floods in Germany” response. Expressions of interest can be submitted until 28 September 2026.
As part of a learning-oriented evaluation, the relief measures implemented following the 2021 flood disaster will be assessed in order to generate insights for future disaster response operations in Germany.
