Evidence of UNICEF achievements for children: A synthesis of UNICEF evaluations
Using semi-automated methods to perform a deep analysis of UNICEF’s progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
In a complex and fast-changing global environment, UNICEF needs to know what the organization has achieved, how, and why to determine what works and does not work in achieving outcomes for children and adolescents. Towards this end, the UNICEF Evaluation Office carried out, in partnership with Newcastle University, a synthesis of UNICEF evaluation reports produced between 2018 and 2022.
By bringing together the evidence from UNICEF evaluations, the synthesis provides UNICEF and its partners with a holistic view of what has and has not been achieved for children as part of the organization’s Strategic Plan. In addition, the synthesis focused on the key factors that have enabled or hindered the organization’s performance, including the role that UNICEF plays in the UN system for advancing development objectives towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030.
The report is accompanied by an interactive evaluation evidence gap map that visualizes the evaluations conducted by UNICEF against the Strategic Plan results areas.
