Evaluation of the UNICEF Response to the Humanitarian Crisis in South Sudan – Part 1: (Child Survival - WASH, Health, Nutrition and related issues)
Overview
This evaluation, commissioned by the UNICEF Evaluation Office in New York, covers UNICEF’s response to the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan between January 2016 and May 2018. It was designed to fulfil two functions: 1) an accountability function designed to account (internally and externally) for one of UNICEF’s largest and most life-critical country programmes, and an emergency designated a corporate Level 3 priority and now in its fifth year; and 2) a learning function, reflecting the need to capture lessons from a programme of this duration and significance to inform the country programme and UNICEF’s global programming and practice.
This constitutes the first part of a two-part evaluation. The scope of this first part is largely restricted to the child survival components of the programme – specifically WASH, health and nutrition – as well as cross-cutting themes that emerged during the evaluation. These include attempts to reduce risk and foster resilience in the medium term, and the synergy between humanitarian and development approaches. Some of the related process issues, including partnerships and other operational modalities, including the Integrated Rapid Response Mechanism (IRRM), are considered in terms of programme coverage, quality, effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
This report is based primarily on evidence gathered by the evaluation team during a three-week visit to South Sudan in May 2018, as well as a review of relevant documentation. Interviews with informants internal and external to UNICEF were held in Juba and in several locations around the country, alongside programme observation and consultation with affected communities served by UNICEF and its partners. The team also accompanied one IRRM mission. This in-country fact finding was supplemented by interviews with staff from the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office and UNICEF Headquarters in New York, and with the results of an Internet survey of staff and part
