Evaluation of approaches to social protection programming in humanitarian situations, focusing on cash-based programming
Overview
This evaluation of UNICEF’s social protection programming in emergencies, focusing on the use of cash-based transfers, is carried out to respond to the prevailing need to provide reflections on UNICEF’s work on social protection in emergencies, particularly relevant in the absence of a comprehensive evaluation of programming of this kind within UNICEF.
3.1. Purpose
The main purpose of this evaluation is twofold: (i) to understand what emergency cash transfer programmes with UNICEF inputs (financial and technical) work and under which circumstances, i.e. where, when, why, for who and how; and (ii) to identify how UNICEF can improve the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of its programming. In the long-run, this evidence will help UNICEF to improve the impact of cash transfers on vulnerable populations affected by emergencies, and to bridge the humanitarian-development nexus by strengthening linkages between developmental social protection and humanitarian cash-based transfers. Moreover, evidence on what works can serve to strengthen UNICEF’s global position in social protection in emergencies, and also enhance the capacity within UNICEF to design, deliver and coordinate these programmes.
3.2. Objectives
In addition to the overall purpose, the evaluation aims to achieve the following short-term objectives:
1. To assess the results of UNICEF-supported or UNICEF-run cash transfer programmes in emergencies;
2. To assess to what extent national capacities have been built in the design and implementation of these programmes, and in how far these results have been achieved in an efficient and sustainable manner;
3. To identify factors that drive or impede the successful achievement of results of cash transfers in emergencies in an efficient manner and how these factors can be applied to the current COVID-19 pandemic;
4. To identify what key comparative advantages and key lessons can be learned from UNICEF’s work in cash transfers in emergencies.
