The object of the evaluation is the inter-agency (sectoral) intervention for case management of justice for children implemented with the support of UNICEF in Albania in targeted districts/municipalities (Berat, Gjirokastra, Puka and Shkodra) in 2019-2022.
The intervention represents the practice followed by Government of Albania and local stakeholders with the support of UNICEF Albania to operationalize the new J4C code into action, in support of an intersectoral and child-centred case management of children in conflict and contact with the law at local level.
Purpose: The evaluation is summative, as UNICEF’s support to the interventions have concluded. However, the evaluation is formative, considering its forward-looking perspective to inform future work. The evaluation purpose is two-fold in line with UNEG evaluations; although the learning component is the strongest considering the rationale described above:
• Accountability: Independently demonstrate to government/target populations/donors the results of the intervention
• Learning: To understand how and why the approach works, and in what conditions so that it can be adapted and understand other measure can be taken for intervention’s integration in the national systems for its future (potential) scale up.
Based on the overall purpose, the three primary objectives of the evaluation include:
1. Assess the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, and (to some extent) impact and sustainability of the intervention to understand what worked and why;
2. Assess the extent to which the implementation of the intervention addresses rights of boys and girls and Leave No-one Behind (gender and other excluded and marginalized groups).
3. Document the lessons on the conditions required for the intervention to yield positive intended results given current and future contexts;
4. Provide recommendations for improving/consolidating/adapting the intervention.
