Evaluation of Models for Scale-up Potential in Serbia
Overview
The demand for the evaluation comes from UNICEF Serbia management, who are exploring different strategic options with respect to a new Country Cooperation Programme 2021-2025, and in response to a recent independent Country Programme Evaluation, which observed that while some of the innovative models brought excellent results in experimental settings, their replication and scalability were threatened by systemic limitations and lack of a full understanding of the how modelling informs policy making, public finance and Government programme decision-making processes.
Objectives of the assignment
The main objectives of the evaluation are the following:
1. Using a sample of current modelling efforts, evaluate and assess the extent to which selected models have been designed in accordance with the 10 preconditions for successful modelling (see Annex 2);
2. Assess and identify implementation challenges that hindered or supported scale-up of the models;
3. As compared to alternative strategies, assess the extent to which modelling was the most efficient way of achieving the desired results (scaled up national programmes for the most vulnerable);
4. Looking forward, assess the factors that may facilitate or further impede scale up in the context specific to Serbia's Government systems and structures (particularly in the areas of governance and financing) in the next programme cycle (2021-2025);
5. Make recommendations that will help the Serbia CO optimize modelling as a strategy in its next country programme;
6. Make specific recommendations that will help UNICEF optimize, replicate or scale up the sampled models where feasible.
7. Based on the findings from 1-5 above, assess the sufficiency of the 10 pre-conditions as a framework for guiding UNICEFs modelling efforts at country level.
