The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the ability of the three UNICEF country offices to fulfil their commitments as stipulated in the original project document (2013), its result framework (figure 1) and the requirements specifically envisaged by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). Furthermore, the evaluation aims:
• To provide quality evidence to inform key stakeholders at national and county level in planning and delivering programmes/services for inclusion of the most vulnerable children in quality universal services.
• To shed light on remaining barriers and bottlenecks that have a significant influence especially on sustainability and explicability of results, especially relevant to early inclusion of Roma children.
The main objectives of this evaluation are to:
1. Assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and, to the extent possible, impact of the project interventions;
2. Identify any unintended outcomes;
3. Identify and document lessons learnt in relation to strategies and interventions used to address certain critical bottlenecks; and
4. Provide recommendations and guide the strategic planning for improved programmes for Roma early inclusion and education as part of the joint partnership programmes with respective Governments.
The findings and recommendations of this evaluation, as with any monitoring and evaluation activity, are intended to lay the ground for UNICEF and respective stakeholders in the three COs to improve their programming of Roma early inclusion and education interventions as part of the joint partnership programmes with the respective Governments.
