RTA - Real-time Assessment of UNICEF COVID-19 response in the East Asia and Pacific region
Overview
Since the start of the outbreak in December 2019, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread to over 215 countries and territories. As noted by the UNICEF Executive Director, children are “the hidden victims of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Lockdowns and school closures are affecting their education, mental health and access to basic health services and raising the risks of exploitation and abuse.
In response to UNICEF GMT recognition of an urgent need for an in-depth understanding of the ways in which countries are actually responding to COVID-19 crisis through means which go beyond current reporting efforts, in July 2020 the Evaluation Office (EO) launched a Real-Time Assessment (RTA) of the UNICEF ongoing response to COVID-19 at the country level. The RTA will be a means to support Regional Offices (ROs) in their oversight role vis-a’-vis the implementation of the CO response to COVID-19. The RTA is being managed by ROs, with coordination support from EO, and in collaboration with the COVID-19 Secretariat. Each RO customizes their approach to be appropriate for the context in their region and, importantly, to minimize duplicating other data gathering underway in the region.
The objective of the RTA is to inform a forward-looking reflection on the implementation of CO response to COVID-19. It includes an assessment of the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on basic services, particularly for the most vulnerable populations. Also, the RTA will gauge the implications of COVID-19 response on 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 consolidated across countries and regions at RO level, with a view to identify trends and generate cross-country learning and timely actions to strengthen the ongoing response.
