UNICEF BiH has undertaken several research studies and evaluations of projects during the span of the CP. In anticipation of the new country program 2005-2008, it was felt that a comprehensive review was necessary to assess progress made, and reflect on challenges to inform planning for the future. The evaluation report served as a basis for internal discussions within the UNICEF BiH office in order to inform the next Country Program for 2005-2008. In addition, this summary is shared for discussion at the Annual Review in December 2004 with partners.
The objectives of the evaluation were to assess the effectiveness of capacity development activities within three selected interventions, as well as the relevance of the activities carried out given the wider arena of possible interventions. The evaluation provides an assessment of the capacity development strategy within the Country Program design.
Evaluation questions
1. Are capacity development efforts effective according to stated goals at the output level?
- Are goals clearly formulated?
- Did capacity development interventions target the appropriate actors?
- Were the methods appropriate for the capacity development objectives?
- Did the capacity development interventions lead to the specified change?
2. Are capacity development efforts in the three projects relevant?
- Did UNICEF make use of its comparative advantage = bringing together government, the international community and NGOs, enabling NGOs to provide leadership - UNICEF MTR Conclusion?
- Did the intervention lead to a change in individual and/or organizational performance?
- Was the intervention the appropriate choice related to other capacity gaps (gaps in responsibility, authority, human, economic and organizational resources)?
- Was the intervention appropriate given the extent of the challenge versus the resources and time frame for action?
