The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC)^[1] was a unique learning and accountability initiative in the relief and development sector. It was first established in February 2005 to carry out joint evaluations of the response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

The TEC had over 50 member agencies from the United Nations, Non-Governmental Organizations, and the Red Cross, as well as private donors. These organizations have been working together since the TEC was established to:

• Improve policy and practice in the relief and rehabilitation sector.
• Provide some accountability to both the donor and recipient public.
• Improve evaluation in the relief and rehabilitation sector by learning from the TEC process itself.
