Episode 5: Lessons from IAHE's evaluation of the Syria–Türkiye earthquake response: A conversation with Tasneem Mowjee

In this episode of The Learning Curve, Juliet Parker speaks with independent evaluator Tasneem Mowjee, lead author of the recent Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation of the Syria–Türkiye earthquake response. Together, they explore what the evaluation revealed — from recurring system-wide challenges to promising examples of community engagement and duty of care. 

Tasneem reflects on why long-established learning still struggles to shape real-time decisions, what it means to respond in a middle-income context, and how the sector can better empower frontline and local actors during this moment of humanitarian transition.

All IAHE reports are are commissioned, funded, and published by the IAHE Steering Group.
