RTA of the UNICEF response to COVID-19: Global Synthesis Report

Overview

The real-time assessment (RTA) of the UNICEF response to COVID-19 was conceived, soon after the COVID-19 outbreak, to support UNICEF regional offices (ROs) in their oversight role vis-a'-vis the implementation of the response to the pandemic at the country level. The RTA was designed around 4 overarching questions (focused on issues of adaptation, implementation, quality and lessons learned) and aimed to foster a forward-looking reflection based on how UNICEF country offices (COs) were responding to the pandemic, as it unfolded, allowing learning to occur in real-time. The RTA was customized and rolled out in 41 countries and 7 regions and the process has delivered multiple products (at regional and country level), including interim reports that informed global reporting and planning processes. This global synthesis report provides a summary of regional findings generated between October 2020 and April 2021 and was finalized in June 2021.
