Evaluability assessment and formative evaluation of UNICEF’s approaches to advocacy
Overview
There are two complementary purposes that animate this formative, forward-looking, exercise. First, to increase the success of advocacy efforts by identifying early adjustments to the advocacy approaches employed by UNICEF. Second, to prepare for a future summative evaluation (forward-looking) of UNICEF's approaches to advocacy.
The more specific set of objectives are the following:
- To assess the clarity and depth of UNICEF’s understanding of what advocacy is and what advocacy work entails. This understanding is to be contrasted with existing evidence on current definitions, as well as best practices and theoretical frameworks on advocacy.
- To determine if UNICEF’s key internal stakeholders and UNICEF’s partners have a shared understanding of what advocacy attempts to accomplish, and how it is achieved.
- To assess the importance of prioritization within advocacy, with a view to capture the progress in the implementation of the Global Advocacy Priorities (GAPs) and other areas, in development and humanitarian settings.
- To review and/or help develop theories of change (TOCs) for UNICEF’s advocacy work in the GAPs and other fields.
- To estimate if the resources (human and financial) invested (or expected to be invested) in the advocacy efforts offer good prospects for success. This includes intellectual assets, funding and staffing, and UNICEF’s ‘social capital’ to bring change.
- To assess the quality and coherence of the advocacy monitoring planning and data collection systems.
- To summarize the strengths and weaknesses of UNICEF’s readiness to engage in advocacy work at different levels and at different scales.
