Evaluation of the Joint SDG Fund Programme “Improving the system of social protection through the introduction of inclusive quality community-based social services” in Turkmenistan
Overview
Object of the evaluation is Joint SDG Fund Programme “Improving the system of social protection through the introduction of inclusive quality community-based social services”. This summative evaluation comes at the end of the Joint Programme by June 2022 and will offer the opportunity to critically and rigorously assess the Joint Programme contribution to the system of social protection through the introduction of inclusive quality community-based social services in the country. The purpose of the JP is to make a transformative change in the current system of social service delivery in Turkmenistan, to reach out to the most deprived and vulnerable population and to address their specific needs. The programme designed a new model of inclusive community-based services for children at risk of separation from parents, children without parental care, children with disabilities, youth at risk, women facing gender-based violence, people with disabilities and older persons in need of support with basic everyday care. The programme piloted a community-based social worker model engaged in identification, assessment and case management as well as piloting specialised social services to meet specific needs and support people to live independent lives in their communities. The JP developed a mechanism for social contracting, improved a social work curriculum and supported drafting of legislative amendments and other institutional framework (standards, service specifications). The JP supported establishment of a government inter-sectoral coordination mechanism, as well as support economic analysis and advocate for the new system of community-based social services to be incorporated into the state budget. Designed model was fully taken over by the government in February 2022 and it is planned to be scaled up by 2025 to fulfil the commitments under the existing national development and human rights plans, including on children.
