The evaluation is intended to serve both an accountability function (historical / summative) and a learning function (forward-looking / formative). As described in the ToR, the purpose is to provide a comprehensive assessment of UNICEF’s overall response to the Syria refugee crisis in Turkey against its own mandate and standards, its stated objectives, and OECD/DAC evaluation criteria. This is intended to generate lessons and recommendations for UNICEF’s future humanitarian responses both in the sub-region and elsewhere. It is also intended that it should help inform the new Turkey Country Programme strategy for 2016-20.
The main focus of the evaluation is on the period mid-2012 to March 2015, though it includes some analysis of future scenarios and future strategic options for UNICEF. Reflecting the balance of the programme, the sectoral focus is on education and child protection, though some analysis is also made of other areas of intervention, including health and nutrition.
This evaluation was commissioned by the UNICEF CEE-CIS Regional Office together with the Turkey Country Office. It has been conducted in parallel with a wider evaluation of the overall UNICEF response to the Syria crisis and it shares the same basic logic as that evaluation – for which it effectively constitutes the Turkey component. However, the current evaluation is different in kind from the wider evaluation, providing a more in-depth consideration of a specific country context and UNICEF’s response to it.
