Evaluability Assessment of National childcare reforms with a strong focus on deinstitutionalization including in particular for children with disabilities
Overview
Evaluability Assessment aims to look at the extent to which national child care reforms in Europe and Central Asia region (ECAR) with a strong focus on de-institutionalization (DI), including in particular for children with disabilities, are evaluable and can be evaluated in a reliable and credible fashion. The EA serves as a tool to assess the strategic and technical soundness of the proposed evaluation in response to the UN Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC), United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children. It also takes into account any relevant regional frameworks, which in the case of ECAR, would include the EU’s commitment to support Governments’ transition from institutional to family and community based care; and the Regional Office’s (RO) flagship child protection programme on de-institutionalization. As such, the EA does not aim to provide summative assessments, findings, or prescriptive expert recommendations. Rather, it is intended to interrogate approaches developed and applied by governments to address child care reforms over a period of time, in particular to achieve sustainable reductions in the number of children in institutional care that are done with quality, and result in the expansion of family support services and family-based alternative care, looking at particularly vulnerable groups such as children with disabilities.
Several countries in UNICEF ECAR have been working on child care reforms with a focus on DI for over a decade with a collective wealth of experience and lessons learned that could benefit countries in the region and beyond. A number of study countries will be selected by the EA consultant in close consultation with UNICEF to represent the diversity of contexts in which child care reforms with DI objectives, including for children with disability, are being implemented.
