The review will cover the 2016-2019 period, drawing from evaluations and other forms of assessment of programmes implemented at country-level. The information will be utilized to explore how effectively UNICEF country programmes, project, and thematic interventions have been used, as vehicles to operationalize corporate strategies and plans, in the context of national priorities and the SDGs. This assessment will reflect the context of two UNICEF Strategic Plans (2014-2017 and 2018-2021), the SDGs, UNDS reform, as well as the changing landscape of rising humanitarian crises, evolving national development priorities, and growing public and private sector partnerships.
Guided by the 2012 OECD / DAC criteria, the evidence will assess how well UNICEF meets the six overarching effectiveness criteria: (i) Effectiveness on Achievement of Objectives and Results; (ii) Relevance; (iii) Efficiency; (iv) Sustainability; (v) Cross-cutting Themes; (vi) Effective use of evaluation, monitoring, and audit evidence. In addition to the six overarching criteria, the 20 sub-criteria, also included in the previous DER 2016 report analyses, will be used in the review. The criteria and sub-criteria will be modified during the inception phase to capture the current evaluation context and main objectives of this review, and to ensure consistency across the review criteria, sampling, classification and reporting methods across DERs. As the selected sample of evaluation documents used the previous 2012 version of the DAC criteria, this report will not use the most recently updated 2019 version of the DAC criteria.
