In November 2018, Equal International in partnership with Ipsos were commissioned to carry out an independent formative evaluation of the initiative. As set out in the Terms of Reference, the main objectives of the evaluation are as follows:
• Analyse the strategies used to map out the trajectory of the #ThisAbility Flagship Initiative and re-construct the theory of change behind to make positive changes for children with disabilities in Malaysia;
• Assess the extent to which the #ThisAbility Flagship Initiative has been appropriately designed, efficiently and effectively managed, and integrated across the Country Programme, including the incorporation of equity, gender equality and human rights considerations;
• Examine the evolution of UNICEF’s work on children with disability in Malaysia, and in particular the intermediate results achieved by UNICEF’s #ThisAbility Flagship Initiative, enabling and disabling factors, considering aspects of both reduction of discrimination as well as access to services – including advocacy and awareness raising both at the national and sub-national level; and its likely sustainability; and
• Analyse the utility of creating a flagship on specific focus issues to promote cross-sectoral work, including strengths and weaknesses.
