The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of FCs to adequately detect and respond to the child protection needs in Gaza, to evaluate how human rights, equity and gender were integrated in the response, and to propose recommendations on potential areas for strengthening FCs for community level service delivery, detection and referral. Sustainability of the FCs also needs to be examined and options explored to enable support to MoSD to facilitate access to protection services, and avoid service delivery gaps. The objectives of the evaluation are to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the FCs and document lessons learnt and good practices that will inform future programming and make recommendations.
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the following elements:
Project implementation period to be considered: June 2015 (start of case management approach) – October 2017 (end of current PCAs with partners).
Focus: Children and their caregivers who attended FCs during the evaluation period, as well as CPCC members, FC staff members and key stakeholders.
Geographic coverage: the 20 FCs operating in the five Governates of Gaza.
The primary users of the evaluation are UNICEF, the Japan Government (the donor) and CSO implementing partners, namely Ma’an and Tamer. The intended use of the evaluation is for the primary audience to understand how well the project achieved its objectives and possibly to inform decisions on future programming. The findings are also intended to provide strategic guidance on the role of the FCs in the context of child protection systems strengthening approaches, including case management, in Gaza.
