Formative Evaluation of the Out-of-School-Children Initiative (OOSCI)
Overview
Purpose: The purpose of the evaluation was to test the validity of the programme theory of change and its assumptions, to provide a formative assessment of progress towards the achievement of the overall goal of achieving a substantial and sustainable reduction in the number of children that are out of school, and to strengthen the programme logic.
Objectives: Three objectives defined in the evaluation terms of reference were as follows:
- To examine the efficacy of strategies supported by UNICEF towards realising the goal of universal participation in basic education , and to determine whether pathways to reaching the intended goal are articulated clearly and are aligned with those of key-partners.
- Determine the extent to which OOSCI studies generated credible evidence on out-of-school children, influenced key policy changes, and facilitated the selection of effective strategies and interventions for various programming contexts, including countries undertaking humanitarian programming.
- To assess UNICEF’s contribution in building individual and institutional capacities to address barriers to entering and staying in school, assess their adequacy, and evaluate efforts at building capacities of key partners.
Organized around OOSCI programme outcomes, descriptive and normative evaluation questions are presented in the evaluation matrix in (see Appendix 3). The evaluation addresses the OECD/DAC evaluation criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability as promulgated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC). It also addresses two additional criteria; coherence, to enable assessment of the formative aspects of OOSCI and the evolving nature some concepts and tools, and, utility.
Scope: The evaluation covered all OOSCI partner countries that had completed their studies by the end of 2016, estimated at 40 of 87 countries. Countries were spread through all UNICEF regions. Par
