Evaluation of the UNICEF’s Early Childhood Development Programme with Focus on the Government of Netherlands Funding (2008-2010): Cambodia Country Case Study Report
Overview
This report presents the results of a case study of strategies and activities
to promote ECD in Cambodia. The evaluation team conducted the study as part of
an evaluation of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)-Government of
Netherlands (GoN) Cooperation Programme on ECD, 2008-2010. The UNICEF-GoN
Cooperation Programme emphasizes three strategic objectives: (1) capacity
building, (2) knowledge generation and dissemination, and (3) mainstreaming ECD
into policies and programmes for young children. In addition, the Cooperation
Programme on ECD focuses on cross-cutting issues, such as use of a human rights
based approach to planning and providing ECD services, as well as gender equity
and outreach to the marginalized.
For the Cambodia case study, in May 2010, the evaluation team conducted five
days of in-country data collection, including field visits to locations where
ECD–related services are offered. The primary data sources were: (1) interviews
with members of the UNICEF country office (CO) staff, representatives of
national ministries and provincial offices involved in providing services
related to ECD, members of local commune councils, volunteers providing
education and health-related services, and representatives of nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) involved in ECD programming; (2) observations of community
preschool classrooms and sessions of Community-Integrated Management of
Childhood Illnesses (C-IMCI)/Baby Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI) services
at locations selected by UNICEF Cambodia staff; and (3) focus groups with
parents of children enrolled in community preschools and focus groups with
parents of children not enrolled. In addition to these primary data sources, we
reviewed a range of secondary sources, including reports and strategic plans,
data from surveys and management information systems, and the results of
external studies.
