The objective of the independent evaluation of the UNICEF country programme (2017 - 2021) is to produce an independent and useful evaluation report that provides accountability and learning. The evaluation will provide accountability to UNICEF, donors, the Government of Lebanon, communities, private sector partners, and rights-holders with respect to whether UNICEF, through the implementation of its country programme document, is fit for purpose and strategically well positioned to respond to national and refugee needs.
More specifically, the objectives of the evaluation are to:
• Assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the country programme looking specifically at gender and human-rights;
• Assess key UNICEF contributions to the attainment of the results at the outcome level, based on existing evidence and analysis, and identify key challenges and lessons learned, including significant and promising interventions and additional strategies implemented between 2016 and 2019, to inform the next programmatic cycle - in particular the scaling up of successful pilots / models by Government of Lebanon and other partners.
• Identify and document lessons learnt in relation to type, combination and way of implementation of the strategies, considering the country context and UNICEF's comparative advantage as well as strategies that were not utilized but could have been relevant in the given context (particularly e.g. communication for development, capacity building, public financing for children, capitalizing on links between private sector fundraising and programme, cross-sectoral approach)
• Assess whether UNICEF CO has been "fit for purpose", in terms of the current staffing structure and skills mix, to deliver the country programme document and to suggest what adjustments may need to be made going forward to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities.
The expected result of the evaluation is a high-quality set of recomme
