Evaluation of unicef Sri Laka Mine Risk Educaton Activities
Overview
In early 2010, MA personnel at the UNICEF Sri Lanka central office in Colombo
asked members of the International Emergency and Refugee Health Branch (IERHB)
at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to
conduct an evaluation of UNICEF’s MRE activities in Sri Lanka. According to
the Terms of Reference (TOR) agreed upon by UNICEF and CDC, the goal of the
evaluation was “to contribute to the review, planning and improvement of the
prevention strategies which have been implemented thus far in Sri Lanka for the
purpose of minimizing the number of victim-activated explosions” and the
objective was “to assess the relevance and effectiveness of the support
provided by UNICEF in addressing the MA needs in Sri Lanka in …MRE.” The TOR
also specified the following major tasks for the evaluation:
• “Understand the context (political, humanitarian, financial, accessibility,
partnership, etc.), the history, and the current implementation of the project.
• Analyze the activities and strategies developed by UNICEF in MRE.
• Analyze the previous findings of evaluations, surveys and reports conducted
on these areas.
• Develop and implement methods to assess the impact of MRE on reducing
injuries and/or risk-taking behavior.
• Propose a summary of strengths and areas for development of the MRE project
and propose how best UNICEF can help build sustainable capacity in this area.
• Present the final results with recommendations to UNICEF.”
The evaluation team conducted the tasks stated above with one exception: it did
not develop or implement methods to assess the impact of MRE on reducing
injuries and/or risk-taking behavior because it was not possible to do so at
this time. The evaluation team did, however, examine the possibility of
conducting a future impact evaluation; these findings and recommendations are
discussed
