The plan for global evaluations, 2022–2025 [E/ICEF/2022/3] is aimed at contributing to the deepening of organizational accountability and learning in support of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022–2025, the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2020 quadrennial comprehensive policy review of operational activities for development of the United Nations system (General Assembly resolution 75/233 (QCPR)).
The plan builds upon the analysis of lessons learned from the plan for global evaluations, 2018–2021; the actions taken to respond to the recommendations of the 2017 assessments of the evaluation function in UNICEF, including the commitment contained in the 2018 revised evaluation policy of UNICEF; the evaluation commitments articulated in the UNICEF Strategic Plan, 2022–2025; the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; the 2020 QCPR; costed evaluation plans approved by the Executive Board of UNICEF as part of country programmes of cooperation; and extensive consultation within the organization and with key United Nations partners.
The plan presents an approach to evaluating various aspects of the work of UNICEF. The institutional effectiveness portfolio will include evaluations of the Strategic Plan, the UNICEF Gender Action Plan, 2022–2025, the UNICEF approach to risk-informed programming, innovations, human resources management and the UNICEF approach to communications and advocacy, among other areas of work. This portfolio will also include an evaluability assessment and early formative evaluation of the Strategic Plan, 2022–2025, scheduled for the first half of 2022. The plan also includes evaluations relevant to each of the Goal Areas of the Strategic Plan, with humanitarian action, gender, disability and other sources of vulnerability and exclusion mainstreamed throughout. In addition, the dedicated humanitarian action portfolio includes evaluations of all Level 3 emergencies, as well as such cross-cutting issues as accountability to affected populations, localization and preparedness. Furthermore, the plan covers joint evaluations with sister United Nations agencies and other partners.
