The evaluation, commissioned by the WHO Country Office in Ukraine and managed by the WHO Evaluation Office, provided an independent, objective, and systematic assessment of WHO’s preparedness for, and response to, COVID-19 in Ukraine. It addressed WCO Ukraine’s strategy, interventions, operations, performance and results to date, as well as its engagement and coordination with partners towards these same ends. The evaluation's primary timeframe was from early 2020 to December 2021. It also examined key pre-COVID-19 preparedness measures that were in place in early 2020 in terms of supporting/inhibiting WHO’s mobilisation and support efforts. There are 12 recommendations: six directed to the Country Office, and six to regional/global levels. Those directed to the Country Office reflect the country context, findings and conclusions at the time of the evaluation. Moreover, the findings and recommendations provide useful lessons and insights for other WHO Country Offices, Regional Offices and HQ in their COVID-19 responses, noting the need to tailor to respective contexts.
