The evaluation serves multiple purposes. The first purpose is to generate learning to inform the design and implementation of future UNICEF initiatives to strengthen civil registration and vital statistics systems. Second, the evaluation serves an accountability purpose by examining performance and results primarily for birth registration but inclusive of related CRVS initiatives.
The four objectives of the evaluation are the following:
1) Determine the relevance, coherence and innovation of UNICEF programming on CRVS systems strengthening from 2014 to present (2020). Present time is intended as pre-COVID19 programming.
2) Examine the effectiveness and contribution of UNICEF programming to birth registration in selected regions and countries.
3) Analyze UNICEF and its mandate for the rights of children within the context of the wider and evolving landscape, pre-COVID19, regarding issues of legal identity management, privacy, inclusion, etc.
4) Provide well-evidenced findings and recommendations regarding UNICEF’s leadership and advocacy, strategies and methodologies for strengthening national and regional capacity, and mechanisms to strengthen civil registration and vital statistics systems.
The findings and recommendations generated by the evaluation will be used to influence strategic direction, to inform theory and practice of programming, to improve measurement of progress, and to build partnerships.
