This formative evaluation was carried out as UNICEF begins to develop its Adolescent Strategic Framework in South Asia and to invest substantial resources in adolescent-related work. The principle aim is to help develop UNICEF’s programming with and for adolescents in the region; and to generate evidence on UNICEF’s performance in directly and indirectly promoting the empowerment and rights fulfilment of adolescents. The evaluation contributes to mainstreaming an adolescent perspective in sectoral programming, enhancing convergence across sectors and strengthening initiatives that explicitly focus on programming with and for adolescents.
The evaluation TOR sets out the objective as follows: “the evaluation will assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of existing UNICEF programmes in mainstreaming or explicitly addressing adolescent-related issues. The evaluation will also examine if the programmes currently being rolled out or in the pipeline are evaluable. Specifically, it should be determined whether or not the programmes are adequately defined and their results verifiable. The evaluation will identify lessons learned and provide recommendations on how to strengthen adolescent programming and mainstreaming or convergence approaches in the countries of the region.”
