UNICEF ESARO is proposing an evaluation of UNICEF’s response to the Level 2 cholera and cyclone Freddy emergencies in Malawi and Mozambique. The purpose of the evaluation is to strengthen UNICEF’s accountability to affected populations, partners, and donors supporting the response. The evaluation will also support learning on how to improve preparedness for and response to future emergencies that contributes to building resilience and strengthening the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. The objectives of the evaluation are to:
1. Provide an assessment of UNICEF’s response to the Level 2 cholera and cyclone Freddy emergencies in Malawi and Mozambique vis-a-vis issues of appropriateness/relevance, effectiveness , efficiency, connectedness and coordination/partnerships, with a specific focus on the adaptiveness/responsiveness of the UNICEF response and how it has addressed issues for children, adolescents and women, including those with disabilities, marginalization or deprivation.
2. Assess the extent to which emergency preparedness and procedures enabled UNICEF to respond effectively. This should include reviewing the extent to which UNICEF has incorporated lessons learned from responses to previous emergencies, as well as whether and how the Emergency Preparedness Platform (EPP), Human Resources (HR)/surge capacities, Partnerships, L2/PC Emergency Procedures (EP), coordination mechanisms, supply prepositioning and distribution monitoring, data and monitoring systems, social protection/shock responsive systems that were established enabled a timely and effective UNICEF response.
3. Draw out key learning and specific sectoral, cross-sectoral and operational recommendations to strengthen UNICEF’s humanitarian-development-peace nexus bridging and preparedness for future emergencies through risk-informed country programmes.
