Activate! Integrated Social Protection and Employment to Accelerate Progress for Young People in Montenegro is a Joint Programme (JP) implemented and funded by ILO, UNDP, UNHCR, UNICEF and IOM and the Joint SDG Fund in the total amount of USD 2,689,00.00, with the aim to enhance the capacities of the social protection system in Montenegro to better serve people in need. The programme applies advanced methodologies (foresight, human-centred design, policy simulation tools, etc.) in order to improve targeting, expand coverage, and address adequacy of social protection, but also activate Montenegro’s youth who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET) and other vulnerable and marginalized groups through enhanced labour activation.
The JP aims to enhance the capacities of the key stakeholders of the national social welfare system to better serve people in need, regardless of their citizenship status. It strives to render policy making evidence-based and policies cost-effective, while ensuring service provision is well-targeted and user-centred. In order to reach vulnerable and marginalized groups, the JP focuses on the most pressing problems of the current social protection system, including targeting, coverage, and adequacy of social assistance and effectiveness of services. The purpose of the Final Evaluation is to provide summative assessment of the achievements of the Joint UN Programme Activate! Integrated Social Protection and Employment to Accelerate Progress for Young People in Montenegro (short- Activate! Joint Programme (JP)). The Final Evaluation will be participatory, involving relevant stakeholders, and in line with the United Nations Evaluation Group’s (UNEG) Norms and Standards for Evaluation in the UN System, using the guidance on Joint Evaluation and relevant UNDG guidance on evaluations.
The evaluation will provide an independent and equity, age and gender-sensitive assessment of the joint programme.
