From February 2019 to February 2020, the Inspection and Evaluation Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services conducted a real-time evaluation of the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) in supporting the transition in Darfur from peacekeeping to peacebuilding, in collaboration with the United Nations country team. That evaluation involved the use of a combination of semi-structured interviews, document review, electronic survey, direct observations and case study in two phases.
The Office of Internal Oversight Services team engaged with all relevant stakeholders, including United Nations Headquarters, UNAMID, the country team, the African Union, the Government of the Sudan, local communities and civil society organizations. An advisory memorandum was issued in October 2019 to transition managers after phase one of the evaluation, as a result of the real-time evaluation, to aid in the timely recalibration and strengthening of transition planning and implementation. Although the transition was repeatedly disrupted owing to political upheavals, social disharmony and security incidents, as well as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, UNAMID was able to steer the mandated activities efficiently within the constraints.
