Evaluation of the UNICEF Pacific Child Protection Programme
Agency
United Nations Children's Fund

Overview

The Pacific has among the highest rates of violence against children. Baseline Studies in several Pacific Island Countries and Territories show an average of 77 per cent reported use of physical discipline against children within the home. Nearly half of ever-partnered women report experiencing intimate partner violence. The percentage of girls who are married before 18 years of age is 18 to 26 percent in five countries. Violence in schools is common as well, with 27 to 67 per cent of children 13 to 15 years of age reporting having experienced bullying, 31 to 75 per cent having been in physical fights and 39 to 68 per cent having suffered severe injuries as a result. Data on children in contact with the justice system are limited throughout the Pacific, although available information suggests that the number of children’s cases proceeding through the formal justice system is quite low in most countries, and in general, the justice system is not very child-friendly to child victims, witnesses and offenders.

The UNICEF Pacific Child Protection Program systems approach comprises of 3 interlinked components (child-friendly justice system; child-focused social welfare system; family and community strengthening;) supported by an enabling legal and policy framework and operational inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms. The Program outcome for 2018-2022 is for children in the Pacific to be increasingly protected from violence and abuse.

With the advent of the end of the DFAT grant for the Child Protection Program in 2024, and in line with the UNICEF Pacific Costed Evaluation Plan 2023-2027, this independent evaluation will assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, gender equality and human rights-based approach, impact and sustainability of the Program. This evaluation is intended to contribute to improved program implementation, learning, and to enhance accountability to donors.
