Both evaluation and analysis of 'good practices' are a core part of our work process.
Evaluation asks simple questions. What are the results of our work? Are we doing the right thing? Are we doing it well? We ask these questions about UNICEF-supported country programmes—UNICEF's specific contribution at country level—as well as how we work as an organization, regionally and globally. Asking these questions helps us learn and makes us more accountable to national partners, donors, sister organisations, ourselves and ultimately to children and women.
Identifying and analyzing 'good practices' is part of the search for excellence. We distil from field experience, monitoring and evaluation of what works in programming, advocacy and management, and why. Good practices feed into our country-level analysis and programming with partners and contribute to learning in the international community.
Evaluation and identifying good practices help UNICEF and partners achieve better results for children
and women.
