The main purpose of this evaluability assessment (EA) is to determine whether the causal pathways toward results for children stipulated in the Country Programme Document (CPD) and programme strategy notes are logical and to review the adequacy of the mechanisms to track performance, assess evidence generation systems being contemplated to demonstrate results for children at different levels. The EA will assess how the programme theory has been operationally translated in practice given the availability of relevant data and the capacity of M&E systems to provide it.
The four objectives of the EA are to assess:
1. Overall robustness of the design and results framework of the new country programme to determine whether the results chain and objectives are clearly articulated and whether relevant, reliable and valid indicators, measures, tools and mechanisms are in place.
2. The adequacy of the M&E systems established to measure progress and achievement of planned results for the above mentioned programme components and the extent to which equity, gender and humanitarian action have been integrated in various data generation systems.
3. Conduciveness of the institutional context and availability of human resources and financial resources to monitor and evaluate the expected results in the country programme. Also, an assessment of the sufficiency of planned results and associated resources to implement the overall Country Programme outcomes is necessary.
4. Provide recommendations to further improve the design, data collection tools and systems to better implement, monitor and eventually evaluate the planned results of the country programme (CP). This would include suggestions on the preparation of the systems and tools to conduct the country programme evaluation (CPE), as well as evaluations in the costed evaluation plan (CEP) and other planned evaluations by the programme teams.
