Monitoring and Evaluation Tool 2

UNICEF Strategic Plan Conflict Sensitivity and Peacebuilding Core Standard Indicators (CSI)

Purpose

This Tool complements section 4.1 ‘Peacebuilding indicators’ of the WASH for Peace – Monitoring and Evaluation Guide. It outlines UNICEF 2022-2025 Strategic Plan’s Core Standard Indicators (CSI) and Goal Area 4 (WASH) indicators related to conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding. It includes supporting guidance as well as links to relevant resources to guide the development of supportive country office (CO) and WASH programme-level indicators and means of verification. CSIs are a required set of global standard indicators derived from the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2022-2025 (SP) results framework and to be used in programme planning, monitoring and reporting. They are designed specially to generate the country-level data that are required to calculate and track many global Strategic Plan indicators – more information available to UNICEF staff here.

  • This indicator tracks the scale of contribution to the Common Country Analysis across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus to inform the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework. The purpose of this indicator is to track the extent to which the CCA considers these elements through a child lens, which is crucial to UNICEF.
  • The purpose of this indicator is to track UNICEF’s progress on its commitment to ensure conflict sensitive programming and to its contributions to national efforts to support social cohesion and peace.

  • This indicator measures the extent to which major peacebuilding, social cohesion or violence prevention plans take into account the voices, interests and needs of children and/or youth and UNICEF’s role in supporting them. These plans or processes typically exist in countries affected by conflict, instability and armed violence (including gang violence), as well as countries that are not currently experiencing conflict or violence but that have deep cultural, social, economic or political divisions, significant patterns of group-based discrimination, marginalization and mistrust, have significant social tensions and/or a history of conflict or instability.

  • The country office used a recent conflict analysis that integrated gender-based violence and was conducted/updated within 24 months to inform the design, development or adaptation of its WASH strategies and programmes
  • The country office established an effective multi-stakeholder collaboration between humanitarian and development and – where needed – peace actors based on the comparative advantage of each partner
  • The country office aligned its development and humanitarian agenda with a mutually supportive role for sustainable development with peace as a potential dividend
Data Points (DP)
  • DP0000319 – Has the CO established an effective multi-stakeholder collaboration between humanitarian and development and, where relevant, peace and security actors based on the comparative advantage of each partner?
  • DP0000320 – Do the CO’s humanitarian and development WASH strategies and/or programmes have specific goals to promote vertical/horizontal social cohesion and peace?
  • DP0000318 – The CO used a recent conflict analysis that integrated gender-based violence and was conducted/updated within 24 months to inform the design, development or adaptation of its WASH strategies and programmes
