Evaluation of the National Early Childhood Development Program
Overview
The main objectives of the evaluation are to:
• Reconstruct a theory of change (ToC) for the ECD Strategy 2004–2015;
• Assess the existing services available for ECD across the sector;
• Assess how the ECD strategy (2004–2015) was integrated in key sectoral strategy/policy documents, programmes and budgets;
• Assess the implementation linkages with key ministries in Nepal, especially the ministries of Education, Health, Federal Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD), and Women, Children and Social Welfare in implementing ECD programmes at national and subnational levels; and
• Assess the extent to which the interim outcomes/results of the ECD strategy were achieved.
The purpose and objectives of the evaluation are reflected in the four key research questions, which underpin the findings of this evaluation:
1. How successful was the implementation of the current national ECD programme in line with the national ECD vision?
2. How efficient were the sectoral resources allocated to ECD in meeting national and subnational needs?
3. How were the implementation of ECD programmes and achievements perceived by key stakeholders in the intervention districts?
4. What learning can be drawn to inform the new ECD strategy development and implementation?
The findings from this evaluation are expected to contribute to provide strategic guidance during the elaboration of the new ECD strategy (2017–2030), and the findings and recommendations will support the government in policy making and national and subnational planning.
The main audiences of this evaluation are the NPC, the Ministry and Department of Education, the Ministry of Health (MoH), the MoFALD, the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare (MoWCSW), the ECD council, the ECD network, the ECD caucus, UN agencies, development partners, international and local non-government organisations (NGOs), and other stakeholders in ECD.
