Building on evidence from recently conducted evaluations1, the ESARO Evaluation Section is proposing an activity best characterized as a learning-focused evaluation (LFE) of UNICEF Mozambique’s response to the L2 emergency in Cabo Delgado. As UNICEF transitions its response post-L2, the evaluation can provide a structure for reflection, learning and recommendations for what comes after the L2 response and how it can feed into the new Country Programme Document. In this context, the evaluation will need to be utilization focused and forward-looking.
The overarching purpose of the LFE is to promote learning and support mid-term course corrections and long-term planning for what comes after the Cabo Delgado L2 response. The objectives of the LFE are to:
• Provide a preliminary assessment of UNICEF’s response to the Cabo Delgado crisis vis-a’-vis issues of appropriateness/relevance, effectiveness2, coverage, connectedness3 and coordination/partnerships, with a specific focus on the adaptiveness/responsiveness of the response and how it has addressed marginalization and depravation.
• Draw out key learning and recommendations from the response to date to equip UNICEF Mozambique decision-makers with the information they need to make adjustments at mid-term and formulate MCO’s transition from L2 emergency to long-term strategy as part of the new CPD.
The evaluation will provide structure for reflection and learning and be imbued with principles of participation and utilization. The primary audience for this evaluation is UNICEF management, regional advisors and MCO staff who are responsible for leading the Cabo Delgado response.
The approach will draw on elements of a lessons learned exercise and real-time evaluation, providing mid-term feedback and generating learning that can be used in the remainder of the current response and towards UNICEF’s longer-term goals.
