DAC/UNEG Peer Review of the Evaluation Function of UNICEF
Overview
The assessment aimed at analysing the function against the three core principles of Independence, Credibility and Utility. The scope included both the strategic positioning of evaluation in UNICEF and its functioning at an operational level, at the central and decentralized levels. The core assessment question was: “Are the agency’s evaluation policy, function and its products: independent; credible; useful and influential for learning and accountability purposes, as assessed by a Panel of professional evaluation peers against the UNEG Norms and Standards and the evidence base?” The Peer Review was to be forward-looking, providing guidance on how the evaluation function can be further strengthened to meet emerging challenges and opportunities both within the UN system and more broadly
The primary audiences for the Peer Review are UNICEF Senior Management and the Executive Board, as well as the staff of the Evaluation Office (EO) and more widely across the organisation; the report will be made publicly available through the Web sites of UNICEF Evaluation Office and of the United Nations Evaluation Group.
Through the Joint OECD/DAC-UNEG Task Force, a Panel of professional evaluation peers was assembled to conduct the Peer Review, comprising five members. Together, they represented UN agencies, a bilateral donor, a foundation, and the independent professional evaluation community. A consultant supported the Panel in its work.
The UNICEF Peer Review Normative Framework was based on the 2011 UNEG Peer Review Framework, that was revised against the new 2016 UNEG Norms and Standards. Within each of the three pillars, evaluation issues were identified around seven main areas: the Evaluation policy of UNICEF; Governance Arrangements; Management of the Evaluation Office, focusing on both operational arrangements and leadership and vision; Evaluation planning; Evaluation quality; Evaluation follow-up and use; and External Influence, Partnerships and Positioning.
