This evaluation of UNICEF's Girl Child Education interventions is part of a series of background exercises that will inform the Mid-Term Review of the UNICEF Malawi 2002-2006 Country Programme. The findings and recommendations will be used to strengthen future programme implementation by improving and/or scaling up interventions for the remaining years of the programme cycle and to prepare for the next 5-year Country Programme in 2007-2011.
The overall objective of the evaluation was to assess the performance and responsiveness of the selected interventions towards contributing to Malawi's attainment of Accelerated Girls' Education, as stipulated in UNICEF's Medium Term Strategic Plan, the Malawi Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (MPRSP) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The specific objectives of the evaluation were to examine:
- Relevance of the girl child education intervention in promoting Girls' Education to narrow gender disparity in Malawi
- Role, design and focus of the girl child education interventions relating to national and UNICEF priorities
- Efficiency and effectiveness of the girl child strategy, i.e. the degree to which the least costly approaches were used to achieve project objectives
- Sustainability of the strategy and its replicability
- Adequacy of project support provided by UNICEF and counterparts.
