Real-Time Assessment of the UNICEF South Asia Response to COVID-19
Overview
The objective of the RTA is to inform a forward-looking reflection on the current implementation of the country office response to COVID-19. It will include an assessment of the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on basic services, particularly for the most vulnerable population and of activity initiated as a response to COVID-19. Also, the RTA will gauge the implications of COVID-19 response upon UNICEF’s regular/pre-Covid programme delivery (the eventual extent of their repurposing for responding to COVID-19), the quality of the related delivery, while also providing early insights on the outcomes achieved. Findings will be further consolidated across countries and regions, with a view to identify trends and generate cross-country learning and timely actions to strengthen the ongoing response..
The RTA will be guided by the following 4 overarching questions How effectively is the CO implementing the response to COVID-19 so far? How is the quality of the response to COVID-19 being affected by remote working modalities and the generally constrained operating environment?
1. How well is the CO adapting to the needs of the population, including the socio-economic impact of the pandemic? How have these needs been determined in each country? (will include gauging: target setting, required capacity, early insights on results achieved so far and where most value is added);
2. What are the early lessons (for CO/RO/HQ) that are emerging from the implementation of the response? What are the emerging positives from the response? and what have been the greatest challenges in responding to COVID-19 so far? Are there discernable trends that are applicable to different settings (i.e. urban/rural; low-resource/high-resource settings etc.)?
3. What more should be done? What should be done differently to enhance COVID-19 response programming for children and their communities?
