Three years and half into implementation, the performance of SNC PDV was evaluated by a team of two external evaluators, one international consultant and one national consultant. UNDP as the Administrative Agency of this programme led an outcome evaluation exercise to determine the extent to which SNC PDV has achieved the outcomes in accordance with the stated goals, i.e., how SNC PDV has informed, coordinated and systematized interventions related to advancing reduction of domestic violence in an environment in which (1) there is an expressed political will toward the nation’s socio-economic development and integration; (2) principles of international covenants regarding gender equality and development as well as tasks related to EU integration have been embraced by the Government of FYR Macedonia; yet (3) prevalent support for traditional gender roles in all walks of life and reluctance to embrace diversity remain serious challenges to tackle.
The objectives of this exercise were thus to determine the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the processes and mechanisms by which SNC PDV informed interventions to promote coordination and strengthen the mechanisms for prevention of violence and provision of adequate victim support services thus contributing to the reduction of domestic violence in FYR Macedonia. In doing so, the evaluation identified the linkages the program has made with the NSPDV and has made forward looking recommendations that will help with future initiatives targeting reduction of domestic violence nationally, regionally and locally.
