The aim of this evaluation is to examine and evaluate the current
organisational structure and procedures of UNICEF in relation to mine action to
determine:
(1) the relevance, appropriateness and sustainability of UNICEF’s approach to
mine action
and;
(2) the global effectiveness and impact of UNICEF supported activities in mine
action.
(3) In addition to the above, the evaluation undertakes an analysis of the
risks and impact on communities and UNICEF’s programme partners if UNICEF
should be unable to meet any of its different commitments contained in the mine
action strategy.
UNICEF posed eight specific questions relating to objective (1) and a further
five relating to objective (2). The specific questions posed are listed in
Appendix A. An excerpt of UNICEF’s mine action strategy, which delineates the
intended division of responsibilities of HQ, ROs and COs, is attached in
Appendix B. There is significant overlap and interdependency between the
thirteen questions asked by UNICEF. For the purposes of this evaluation,
relevance and appropriateness of the UNICEF mine action strategy and approach
is in relation to the needs of key stakeholders, including UNICEF as an
organisation. Effectiveness and impact questions are in relation to whether the
goals have been met. Factors that affect both appropriateness of approach and
effectiveness in achieving goals include the relationship between outputs and
inputs, such as the timeframe that has been set or the allocation of human
resources and financial or material resources. For this reason, it is assumed
that the direct beneficiaries of the evaluation will consider findings in
relation to the thirteen questions in their entirety, rather than in isolation.
