The object of the evaluation is the UN Joint Programme on Strengthening Social Protection in Uzbekistan (JP), which has been implemented by UNICEF, UNDP, and ILO that are directly involved in joint programme implementation. While all three participating agencies work together on the joint programme, each take a clear lead on the different pillars/outputs, leveraging their comparative advantages.
UN SP Joint Programme covers the period of 2020-21. The geographical scope of the joint programme is nationwide with particular focus to selected regions where pilots were implemented. It is based on the UN SP Joint Programme Theory of Change and the associated Workplan 2020-21. The workplan was partially modified in 2020 and included additional activities related to the COVID-19 response. It is expected that implementation of the Joint Programme will contribute to the acceleration of the progress towards SDGs 1, 5, 10 and 16.
This summative evaluation will come at the end of the joint programme implementation. In this context, the evaluation offers the opportunity to critically assess the joint programme contribution to social protection sector reforms and provision of more equitable and quality social care services in the country. In addition, the evaluation should also focus on assessing UNICEF specific contribution towards establishment of the Single Registry (i.e. social protection management information system) considering its growing importance for social protection sector reform and plans of government for its further national roll-out. The findings of the evaluation will be used as a basis for discussions, planning and programming between UN, Government of Uzbekistan and other key national and international stakeholders.
