The rationale and purpose of the evaluation was to:
a. Assess the contribution of the UNICEF girls’ education programme and interventions towards attaining gender parity in key education measures, and in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2 and 3 and related Education for All (EFA) goals;
b. Assess the efficacy of girls’ education programme strategies, and the extent to which UNICEF work in girls’ education has translated into the desired reforms in education sector policy, planning and budgeting practice; and
c. Determine whether key lessons (documented lessons about what works in girls’ education, presented through evaluation findings and other forms of evidence) were used to influence subsequent choices for girls’ education and gender equality programming within UNICEF.
The objectives of the evaluation were to:
a. Assess UNICEF work in girls’ education against the organization’s mandate and positioning, and determine if there is a shared understanding of objectives and strategies within UNICEF and between UNICEF and education sector planning processes at national and regional levels; and
b. Determine the nature and relevance of UNICEF girls’ education interventions, assess whether outcomes and pathways to achieving results were articulated clearly, and analyse the extent to which interventions have yielded the intended results or improved learning outcomes for girls.
