2.1 Purpose and Context
The original project proposal stipulated and budgeted funding for an external
evaluation to be organized in the last quarter of the project in consultation
with the Project Steering Committee. The purpose is to meet the expectation,
which accompanies EU financial support, to independently evaluate project
performance. Informally, the evaluation will inform discussions among the
European Union Delegation to Montenegro, UNICEF Montenegro, the MOJ, and the
MOLSW on potential future support for juvenile justice system reform work. The
final two Project Steering Committee meetings began such talks, and noted the
expectation that this evaluation will be an important consideration for the
design and support of future activities.
2.2 Objectives and Scope
As stipulated in the evaluation Terms of Reference (see Annex VII), the
specific objectives of the evaluation are the following:
4. To provide feedback to UNICEF Montenegro office and its national
counterparts on the soundness (defined as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency,
sustainability) and impact of their approach in the Juvenile Justice System
Reform Project in order to:
a. Reveal good practices and gaps in their approaches;
b. Evaluate Project Impact following Project Plan, Project Logframe and
Description of the Action
5. Based on the experience of Juvenile Justice System Reform Project to extract
general lessons learned and recommendations aimed at further enhancement of the
juvenile justice system reform.
6. Provide the Delegation of European Union to Montenegro with information on
impact of their specific support to Juvenile Justice System in Montenegro.
These objectives were defined before the project evaluator’s involvement, and
while they are reasonably specific, achievable, and relevant, they present some
measurability challenges and are not time-bound. They do not foresee the
completion of cost analysis, although some relevant considerations are
present
