This report reflects on the effectiveness of UNICEF‘s immediate response to the tsunami in Thailand and the process of transitioning toward mainstreamed programming work within three core areas: child protection, education and capacity building.

Three years after the tsunami, UNICEF commissioned an evaluation of the impact of the response for children in Indonesia. This report lays out the methodology, results, and recommendations from the evaluation.

The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the outcome-impact of the inter-agency child protection response to the tsunami in the Maldives and draw lessons and recommendations that will be useful for strengthening on-going development programming and policies to improve the well-being and rights of children and women.

This report describes two studies undertaken simultaneously in Indonesia and Sri Lanka to assess the relationship between child wellness and livelihoods programs implemented by Save the Children in the tsunami-affected regions.
