What we do| Evaluations

Evaluation at UNICEF generates independent evidence to assess what works, for whom, under what circumstances, and why. By examining the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, impact, and sustainability of UNICEF's policies, programmes, partnerships, and institutional performance, evaluations help strengthen accountability, foster learning, and inform better decisions for children.

UNICEF undertakes a diverse portfolio of evaluations at the global, regional, and country levels. Together, these evaluations provide timely and credible evidence to improve programmes and policies, respond to emerging challenges, and support continuous organizational learning.
