The overall purpose of the ADAP comprehensive evaluation was to:
1. Assess the results achieved in the promotion of the rights of adolescents in
the
last eight years (2001-2009) to provide UNICEF with evidence and strategies to
inform a second generation of programmes for more efficient fulfillment of
adolescent rights in all the MTSP focus areas.
2. Provide UNICEF with more clarity on the organization‘s position on
adolescents
and young people, as a foundation for future strategic planning and
programming.
3. Better define a paradigm shift towards a positive development approach to
adolescents and the benefits of child and young people‘s participation.
4. Support UNICEF in identifying its comparative advantage regarding
adolescents and young people for a more effective partnership with other UN
and partner agencies that have been increasingly involved in the area of
youth programming.
In addition, the evaluation had three very specific purposes. These were to
provide:
UNICEF and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) with
information on the effectiveness and impact of the programme for the
mainstreaming of adolescent rights in UNICEF work, and of the gaps and
uncovered needs towards achievement of the programme objectives.
UNICEF with evidence on adolescent focused programming in the tsunami
response for further articulation of humanitarian programmes and policy in
relation to adolescents and young people.
Evidence of the quality and impact of child and young people‘s
participation in country programmes as a contribution to the Monitoring &
Evaluation (M&E) of the Medium-Term Strategic Plan (MTSP) in relation to
Key Result Area 4, Focus Area 5
