The purpose of the evaluation is to provide impartial and independent evidence to assist the Country Office, and partners (government, implementing partners, donors, the UN country team) to identify the results achieved, the gaps, and the key bottlenecks. As the country programme did not formally envision the full extent of the humanitarian programming, the evaluation should have a strong focus on the nexus approach given the multiple crises and humanitarian initiatives implemented in Sudan by the UNICEF country office. The learning will primarily benefit the UNICEF Country Office, as well as contribute to the UN system joint programming in Sudan and the programming of partners in Sudan.
The evaluation will provide accountability to UNICEF, partners, and rights-holders; elaborating whether UNICEF, through the implementation of its Country Programme, was fit for purpose and strategically well positioned to respond to national and refugee needs. In addition it will (a) assess key UNICEF contributions to the attainment of the results at the outcome level, including cross-cutting strategies, based on existing evidence and analysis, and identify key challenges and lessons learned, (b) identify the opportunities and potential strategic shifts for the next country programme vis a vis UNICEF’s comparative advantage and potential ways to integrate the nexus approach more systematically, and (c) assess whether UNICEF CO is "fit for purpose", in terms of strategic positioning, the current implementation modalities and decentralized operations.
