Developmental evaluation of UNICEF’s work on innovation for children in Malaysia
Overview
The objectives of the DE include the following:
a) Evaluate opportunities for UNICEF influence and impact within the innovation landscape of
an upper-income country like Malaysia and provide strategic guidance on new entry-points for achieving the Country Programme objectives;
b) Build a culture of learning and adaptability from the evidence collected through the Developmental Evaluation (DE) among social innovators, social entrepreneurs, non-governmental organisations, private sector and government organisations that currently or potentially might partner with UNICEF on innovation. This will be achieved through an orientation workshops, which will bring all the partners together to build buy-in to the DE process, and a familiarity to working with the Embedded Evaluator (EE).
c) Ensure rigorous documentation of the learnings throughout the process, enabling them to be shared, replicated, and thoroughly reviewed to understand how decisions were made and adaptations came about. This documentation will facilitate informed iterations within the innovation programme, revisiting decisions to try different approaches when desired, and support other similar innovation initiatives in their learning and approaches.
Beyond existing innovations (HCD, U-report), it is envisaged that the DE will help harvest learning on how innovation could be applied to accelerate results in relation to communication for development (C4D) to address social norms which constrain progress for both women and children’s rights. Equally, the DE will cover how innovation could add value to areas of UNICEF’s work such as child protection, education, monitoring and disaster risk reduction (incl. both prevention and preparedness) to advance UNICEF’s Country Programme in the current socio-economic context.
