Formative evaluation of integrated protection services for children and women in Indonesia 2021-2023

Highlights

In April 2024, UNICEF Indonesia engaged Coram International to undertake an independent Formative Evaluation of Integrated Protection Services for Children and Women in Indonesia 2021-2023. The scope of the evaluation was refined during the inception phase to focus on a specific component of UNICEF’s Child Protection Programme, namely the development and implementation of Regional Technical Implementation Units for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA). The UPTD PPA programme is jointly implemented by the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and UNICEF, as well as a diverse range of partners at the national and subnational level.

The primary purpose of the evaluation is to assess the intermediate outcomes and effectiveness of integrated protection services for women and children in terms of its achievements and results, as well as contribution towards meeting UNICEF’s priorities in knowledge generation and lessons learned. The evaluation is intended to provide information for the Government of Indonesia that will enable it to adjust its approach to allow integrated service design to be strengthened and scaled-up. The evaluation will also inform UNICEF Indonesia’s next Country Programme, which aims to improve child protection services in an evidence-based manner.
