The evaluation is envisioned as a cross-cutting, thematic evaluation that would encompass actions implemented during the country programme 2016-2020 across four programmes—child protection, education, social protection and health and nutrition—as well as a comprehensive communication strategy aimed at inclusion of children with disabilities. It will examine UNICEF’s contribution to system level changes and the transformation of nationally developed approaches (supply and demand driven). Its overarching goal will be to contribute to ongoing reform processes, inform policymaking and guide programme design, as well as enhance the accountability of UNICEF to key stakeholders and contribute to learning and knowledge sharing related to the situation of children with disabilities in the country.
The purpose of the evaluation is to provide a summary account of UNICEF’s results to date in programmes supporting inclusion of children with disabilities in the country , including interventions designed and implemented as part of the COVID-19 response. The evaluation will be forward looking, being an important learning opportunity, both for UNICEF and its partners, especially the government, in deriving lessons from the experience and existing evidence that can bring attention to the policies and good practices and inform UNICEF programming targeting children with disabilities and their families at all levels.
Findings and recommendations of the evaluation will be very valuable to help UNICEF North Macedonia to reflect on its own progress and plan next steps taking into account regional lessons learned.
