Evaluation of UNICEF Municipal Seal of Approval initiative
Agency
United Nations Children's Fund

Overview

The evaluation was an independent assessment of the conceptual, technical and practical viability of the Municipal Seal of Approval in Brazil, obtaining lessons on what is working well, and identifying areas to improve and continue dissemination to new municipalities.

The purpose of the evaluation was to support continuing efforts of the UNICEF Brazil Country Office (BCO) to sharpen its focus on equity-focused municipal public policies that guarantee the rights of children and adolescents, especially those most disadvantaged and excluded, through the promotion of the Municipal Seal of Approval as a key strategy. The evaluation aimed to identify the added value of the strategy and its key contributions, and to document good practices and lessons.

Three areas were considered:

a) The Seal as a tool for mobilizing and implementing the equity agenda for children: at the conceptual level, the evaluation analyzed how the Seal evolved throughout the years and if it was substantively, logically and methodologically sound. It analyzed whether the Seal continues to have its own “appeal” and potential to position children’s rights in the agenda of municipal, federal and national governments;

b) Implementation of the Seal at local level and its broader impact on the implementation of international commitments (the CRC and the MDGs), national development priorities and public policies through upstream work and participatory processes: the evaluation looked at how the Seal was introduced, managed and implemented in the different editions; what impact it has had and how it relates to the policy issues;

c) Lessons learnt at the municipal, federal and national levels: the evaluation assessed how the lessons from past experience reflected on today’s Seal and how these lessons could be used to improve the current and future editions.

The results will contribute to the decision-making process and promote greater accountability for performance and achievements.
