As part of its continuing mission to provide humanitarian relief around the world, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Church) partnered with Evaluasi to conduct an evaluation of Rahma Worldwide’s (Rahma) 2022 distribution of humanitarian aid in Yemen. The Church primarily sought to determine whether Rahma had complied with terms of their agreement with the Church and had spent funds in accordance with that agreement. Secondarily, the Church sought to assess the efficacy of Rahma’s distribution and identify ways to improve future distributions. This document summarizes our findings.

Overall, we find that Rahma is highly compliant with the terms of their agreement with the Church and have demonstrated that they are qualified to receive aid for future projects. We conducted 50 interviews with Rahma staff, beneficiaries, and local stakeholders and also reviewed Rahma’s internal financial and technical documents. We found no evidence to suggest that their reporting to the Church was erroneous and found substantial evidence corroborating those reports. Per the Church’s direction, we did not conduct a comprehensive review of all the work Rahma completed.

Despite this planned limitation to scope, we are confident that Rahma executed the 2022 humanitarian distribution efficiently, effectively, and in accordance with the Church’s ethical, financial, and technical expectations. The table below summarizes our findings for each of the Church’s Short-Term Results Scorecard, along with data sources and justifications for those conclusions. More detailed discussion can be found in the full report.
