The evaluation will focus on technical assistance that was provided by the UN agencies through the Joint Programme with regard to policy implementation, programme design, Systems strengthening, knowledge generation, communication and advocacy between December 2015 and March 2019. The key evaluation outcomes will assess effectiveness, efficiency, coordination, sustainability and equity. The evaluation will also examine the extent to which recommendations from the mid-term review had a bearing on subsequent programme performance. It will also identify key lessons and recommendations that can be made to strengthen the nature of technical support necessary for effective and efficient delivery of social protection services.
In terms of geographical coverage, the evaluation will target different stakeholders ranging from National level policy makers within respective ministries down to beneficiaries at community level. Interviews will be held with UN, line Ministries and Cooperating Partners representatives. Field visits will be conducted in Central Province (Mumbwa and Itezhi Tezhi districts) as well as Luapula Province (Mansa and Samfya districts.)
The results from the evaluation will be useful to the stakeholders who were involved in the implementation of joint programme as it will guide the development of future joint programmes by providing recommendations on the most appropriate strategies and approaches to include when developing joint programmes to provide technical assistance to social protection programmes.
