This is an in-depth independent evaluation on the three-year multi-sector community-based reintegration Programme in Boma State where UNICEF provided holistic services to released children and their families in order to facilitate their safe and effective reintegration, and prevent (re) recruitment.
The evaluation reviews and assesses the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the program. Human Rights – including children’s rights – and gender equality will be included in these criteria. The evaluation covers the programme period from 2015 to 2018. It covers all programme components to provide specific recommendations for new strategic directions and scaling-up plans for the programme in the new country programme. The main users of the evaluation include UNICEF South Sudan, UNICEF ESARO and HQ and the National DDR Commission.
A mixed-method approach is applied for conducting the evaluation including the use of primary and secondary data, as well as qualitative and quantitative data through different methods, including literature review, interviews with key informants (minimum 9 interviews), site visits to schools/communities/training centres (minimum 10 sites), focus group discussions (minimum 9 FGDs), interview of key staff (minimum 7 staff), interview with partner staff (minimum 4 staff), case studies (minimum 5 case studies) and review of statistical data. Within the selection of participants in the FGDs and KII, special attention is paid to a strong representation of girls and women.
