Evaluation of UNICEF Mongolia's Geographic Targeting Approaches in Programming
Overview
During the last two decades of its work in Mongolia, UNICEF has tried different targeting to define the most effective and efficient approaches to country programme implementation that would support more rapid progress for children towards the intended results. At times, UNICEF had chosen different number of GFAs out of 21 provinces and 9 districts of Ulaanbaatar city. For instance, the CPDs during 2002-2006 and 2007-2012 targeted 6-7 geographic focus areas. Then, the number of GFAs was reduced into two in the 2012-2017 with the intent to direct its scarce resources to a fewer number of areas in order to achieve more tangible results by maximizing the return on UNICEF’s limited resources and its strategic impact. Current CP focuses four geographic focus areas (3 western provinces and 1 district of Ulaanbaatar capital).
The provinces and districts were chosen on the basis of multiple child deprivations (MODA); persisting inequalities among children, government capacity and the partnership landscape; and UNICEF’s minimum requirements for operational efficiency.
Main objectives of the GTA are to increase access of children and women, particularly most vulnerable groups to equitable and integrated services; reach the most disadvantaged (children, youth, disabled people, elderly, herders and domestic migrants); enhance local government’s capacities in designing and delivering integrated and equitable services; test innovative low cost, high efficiency models for national level replication. Interventions have been confirmed by each sector, working with national authorities, and considering the patterns of inequity and deprivation.
In general, the presence in GFAs has become very important in piloting innovative models as a learning experience and expanding those models into the national level and generating evidence for national policy advocacy.
