The purposes of this regional thematic evaluation are :
• to assess UNICEF’s strategies and interventions geared towards the realization of the rights of children and women in decentralizing environments in the East Asia and Pacific region; and
• to identify strategic issues and options for UNICEF’s future interventions.
The evaluation focuses particularly on the extent to which UNICEF’s strategies in support of and responding to decentralization are aligned towards, and appropriate for, contributing to more equitable results for children. This is intended to help the Regional Management Team to better support responses to decentralization that help countries achieve national goals and priorities in ways that improve the lives of children, and particularly the most disadvantaged children.
Evaluation objectives
This evaluation takes account of and builds upon previous studies on decentralization undertaken by UNICEF in the East Asia and Pacific region. The specific objectives of this evaluation are:
to assess the extent to which UNICEF’s strategies, implicit or explicit, aimed at achieving results for children in decentralizing environments are relevant and effective;
to distill good practices and lessons learned from UNICEF’s engagement in decentralizing environments, especially in the areas of capacity development, policy advocacy, and partnerships; and
to formulate recommendations on strategic issues and options with a view to improving UNICEF’s strategies and interventions geared towards the realization of “all rights for all children” in decentralizing environments
