The purpose of this evaluation is to independently assess the IYCF-P, supported by UNICEF and implemented by Save the Children Jordan in the target communities (camps and host families). In particular, the evaluation aims at conducting a systematic and impartial examination of the Programme’s performance, including the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the Programme. This evaluation is primarily intended to support the decision-making process of the UNICEF Jordan Country Office and the Ministry of Health to examine Programme’s performance and inform future health and nutrition programmes in Jordan. The secondary audience includes relevant institutions working in the nutrition sector in Jordan, including SC-J, nutrition and health partners, as well as donors.
The specific objectives include:
1. To assess the relevance of the IYCF-P (with integrated IYCF+ services for emergency response and resilience components) in the current context in Jordan and its national priorities, including those in the context of the health sector reform.
2. To assess the effectiveness of the IYCF-P and to measure to what extent the Programme has achieved its stated objectives and any intended and unintended effects.
3. To assess the efficiency of the IYCF-P and to measure to what extent the Programme has used resources (human, financial, and others) in an efficient manner, and if the achieved results justify the resource.
4. To assess the sustainability of the IYCF-P and its results, considering the likelihood of Programme sustenance in the absence or reduction of ongoing UNICEF and donor support.
Given the lack of baseline data and further to related discussions with UNICEF officials during the inception period, the current evaluation did not attempt to measure the Programme impact but rather examine the likelihood of impact. This was achieved through assessing the enablers and contributing factors associated with the Programme’s success.
