Evaluation of Joint Programme Enhancing Resilience and Acceleration of the SDGs in the Eastern Caribbean

https://www.unicef.org/evaluation/reports#/detail/19024

Overview

The evaluation is being commissioned for the following reasons: i. The SDG Fund requested the partners to commission a final, independent and gender-responsive evaluation to assess the accomplishment of main expected results of the JP, its contribution to improving the situation of vulnerable groups identified in the JP document, as well as its contribution to SDG acceleration and UN Reform efforts. ii. The partner agencies will take the opportunity of this evaluation to assess the value added of the partnership and take stock of lessons learnt and good practice in view of future collaboration and (post)-COVID response. The evaluation is being commissioned and needed at this time as: i. The SDG Fund requires the evaluation to be finalized before the end date of the JP in May 2022, and the funds available for the evaluation need to be disbursed by that date.16 ii. At the same time, the evaluation is timely to inform the formulation and early implementation stage of further joint programmes in Eastern Caribbean (few are currently under development and expected to start in 2022). iii. It will provide useful information on the COVID response efforts and contribute to ‘post-COVID’ programming plans, including through identification of remaining capacity gaps at national level. The evaluation will be useful for the partnering UN agencies when designing future joint programmes through the identification of lessons learnt and a deeper understanding how joint programmes position agencies vis-à-vis the national governments. Also, it will be useful to inform PUNO’s further efforts in the field of shock responsive social protection in the Eastern Caribbean and other similar contexts.
