The Country Programme (2020-2023) of UNICEF Sierra Leone was designed and implemented within a context of multidimensional and evolving change to the programming environment in Sierra Leone. The country encountered unprecedented challenges brought by COVID-19, entailing measures UNICEF took to address children’s emerging needs and priorities in a fast-paced emergency. Coupled with the pandemic, children in different parts of the country faced troubles due to environmental hazards such as floods and disease outbreaks that worsened due to ongoing climate change. Sierra Leone is also going through a decentralisation process that would require UNICEF to reassess the balance between national and sub-national focus in its programming.
The CPE will serve UNICEF's accountability and learning purposes by looking into the CP's performance in achieving its intended results for children.
This evaluation will provide the donors and other development partners (vertical accountability) and the girls, boys and caregivers whom the CPD is expected to serve (horizontal accountability) with solid evidence of how the CP attained its envisaged objectives. It will inform UNICEF of the relevance, efficacy, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and sustainability of programme implementation strategies to reach the planned CP results and also shed light on potential corrective actions in the design and envisaged delivery modalities of the new country programme (TOC, change strategies, needed partnerships, and others). The evaluation will generate recommendations to guide UNICEF Sierra Leone and in-country partners in ensuring the CP meets the children's needs and priorities. The Users of this evaluation include UNICEF section staff, UN and other developmental partners, NGOs and the Government.
