As foreseen in UNICEF’s current country programme (2017 - 2021) evaluation plan, the first phase of the NIDCAP is to be evaluated for necessary programme revisions and validating the intervention for national scale up. In accordance to the DAC criteria, the objective of the evaluation is to determine, as systematically and objectively as possible, the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of UNICEF’s support. Impact will not be considered as one of the evaluation criteria; though unanticipated impact will be looked into and documented for future programming adjustments if required.
In accordance with UNEG norms and standards (2016), this evaluation has a dual purpose of accountability and learning. It will support (i) generation of knowledge on the successes and challenges of the Neonatal Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Programme (NIDCAP) to inform future programming, (ii) accountability for UNICEF and national partners, as well as the beneficiaries of the programme.
