Early Impact Evaluation and Evaluability Assessment of Nepal's Child Grant Programme
Overview
The Government of Nepal has been implementing the Child Grant Programme since 2009. The programme initially focused on Dalit children below the age of 5 in Karnali. The Government began gradually universalizing the Child Grant, making it available to all children in Karnali. In 2015 UNICEF provided technical support to the Government in developing an expansion plan to universalise the Child Grant Programme in all 77 districts. In 2016, the Government committed to the gradual universalisation of the programme to cover all children under 5 nationally and doubled the benefit value. The Government’s expansion strategy is to reach universal coverage of the programme by 2025, using gradual expansion covering the most vulnerable districts based on a Human Poverty Index.
Since its inception, different assessment and evaluations covered the programme but most of them were of qualitative. Due to the need for more evidence on the programme’s performance and its potential to achieve its long term intended results, UNICEF commissioned an impact evaluation based on robust mixed methods approach. The main rationale is to evaluate the extent to which the programme has made a difference in improving children’s wellbeing, gather lessons learned and insights into its operational and programmatic performance.
