The purpose of the evaluation was fourfold: 1) Assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of existing UNICEF programmes in achieving results of the three programme component results (PCRs) included in the CPA while also considering the synergy between the three original PCRs and the emergency PCR. 2) Reconstruct and test the underlying Theory of Change of the 2013-2017 country programme. 3) Identify lessons learned and formulate recommendations on how to strengthen UNICEF’s role as a key national player for child rights in the upcoming Country Programme, particularly in light of recent developments in the national and international context. 4) Assess whether and how key strategies have contributed to better position UNICEF in the national development landscape of Nepal and whether and how these key strategies can accelerate and strengthen the achievement of higher level results beyond the sum of the sectoral results by the programme sanctions. The evaluation focused on the first three years of the current Country Programme cycle (2013-2016) and analysed the three PCRs that were initially included in the CPAP. The Evaluation did not evaluate the impact neither in the OECD-DAC definition, nor in the sense of attributable change. Nevertheless, where possible, the evaluation has sought to assess the effectiveness of in achieving planned results.
