Evaluability Assessment of Child Protection in Humanitarian Action
Overview
Since its creation in 1946, UNICEF has been committed to protecting children in humanitarian action. When an emergency strikes, whether a sudden onset natural disaster, health epidemic or armed conflict, children require special protection to ensure their survival, safety and well-being. UNICEF’s global mandate for children specifically provides for a focus on protecting children against maltreatment and from the immediate and long-term effects of emergencies, and on fulfilling their full rights. Protecting children in violent conflict and natural disasters is increasingly difficult as the number, scale and complexity of emergencies continues to grow and millions of children and their families and communities suffer numerous, multifaceted forms of violence, exploitation and abuse.
The EA differentiated between two dimensions of evaluability: On the one hand, evaluability in principle based on the internal logic of a programme as represented by its theory of change, and on the other hand, evaluability in practice, as represented by the measurement approach, tools and indicators used to reflect performance and results achieved. A mix of methods and tools were used to promote data standardization and analysis, and additional qualitative information was considered to contextualize and nuance the findings. Drawing on good and emerging practice from related exercises within the UNICEF Evaluation Office, the EA developed and used rubrics to enhance the review of various forms of data. The EA was approached as a desk-based review of the internal and external literature, supplemented by selective key informant interviews intended to clarify or supplement information obtained during the desk review and identify gaps in documentation. While the EA did not include regional or field visits, it did include an in-depth case study on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was carried out through document review and telephone interviews.
