The purpose of the evaluation is to inform UNICEF senior management in their
decision making and the DevInfo Inter-agency Advisory Committee concerning the
way forward for the initiative, notably as far as the future management and
implementation structure of the initiative and its sustainability and possible
expansion are concerned. This evaluation is expected to help senior management
explore ways in which DevInfo might develop and possibly scale up and
accelerate the distribution and use of DevInfo.
The evaluation addresses three objectives:
Objective 1—Assess relevance, effectiveness and impact of DevInfo at national
and sub-national levels by governments and other partners in programme
countries as well as by the UN system;
Objective 2—Assess efficiency in terms of oversight, management and
implementation of DevInfo; and
Objective 3—Explore options for institutional sustainability and possible
opportunities for expansion of DevInfo.
The timing of this evaluation was prompted by: the need to take stock and plan
ahead at the end of DevInfo‘s first five-year cycle (2004-2009); a request by
UNICEF Headquarters‘ Contracts Review Committee to assess the impact of DevInfo
prior to the next contract reviews with the Community Systems Foundation in
early 2009; and planning for the UNICEF biennium 2010-2011. The evaluation
starting point was taken as the launch of DevInfo in 2004.
