This report presents the results of an independent evaluation that UNICEF Cambodia, in conjunction with MOI and
and MOEYS, commissioned in April 2015 to assess the contribution of CPS to early childhood development in
Cambodia. The CPS model is at a critical juncture and the purpose of this evaluation – undertaken by an external
evaluator, Fabrice Hénard – was to provide evidence that will help both the Government of Cambodia and UNICEF
refocus, redevelop and improve the CPS experience and inform UNICEF’s 2016–2018 Country Programme’s support
strategies for early childhood development (ECD).
The evaluation had five specific objectives:
• Provide a documented overview of results achieved by UNICEF-supported CPSs over the 2005–2014 period,
along with the strategy and modus operandi prompted by UNICEF;
• Assess the effectiveness of UNICEF-supported CPSs, especially the role of commune councils in the context
of the decentralization and de-concentration (D&D) process;
• Highlight the impact on the children and families targeted by the CPS modality and, to the extent possible,
provide evidence on these impacts (or formulate assumptions about the effect of UNICEF support, depending on
the degree of causality);
• Explore the sustainability of the CPS modality; and
• Enrich reflection for the UNICEF 2016–2018 Country Programme and its action plan.
