The UNICEF China Country Programme, covering the period 2021-2025, is in the second year of implementation with a Mid-term Review scheduled in mid-2023, and a Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) in early 2024. Evaluability is critical to strengthening results-based management and demonstrating the contribution of UNICEF-assisted programmes to results for children and promoting child rights. An EA will support the future CPE, through defining its design, scope, approach and methodology.
The main purpose of this EA is to determine whether the result chain (results for children) to be achieved through the implementation of the Country Programme are relevant and logically consistent from the strategic design perspective, measurable and evaluable. Based on initial consultations with UNICEF colleagues, areas that the EA should cover (among others) are the following:
• Ensure CCO’s program designs in the new Country Programme Docutment are meeting stated objectives- reduce inequities/aligned with national programs/ and support evidence generation that will feed into appropriate decision making. The EA will cover the extent to which existing monitoring and reporting frameworks and relevant evidence generation systems are sufficiently resourced, managed, and produce robust information.
• UNICEF’s support to South-South cooperation, the partnership strategy, and the advocacy strategy of the CP to allow for evidenced-based reporting of success, that feeds into decision making and the eventual evaluation of the Country Programme.
