This multi-country evaluation will have two purposes: accountability and learning.
With respect to accountability, this evaluation will provide both the donor (vertical accountability) and the expected beneficiaries, including Governments of WCAR Countries, (horizontal accountability) with solid evidence on the extent to which the Birth Registration Programme in each one of the concerned countries attained its envisaged objectives.
With respect to learning, this evaluation is expected not only to inform the programme implementation strategies in the years to come in view of taking strategies to scale but it will also shed some light on some potential corrective actions that may want to be explored further in the future and can contribute to improving the programme theory of change.
More specifically, this evaluation is expected to generate facts/evidence-based conclusions and recommendations that will help UNICEF Regional Office and all Country office programme staff as well as other in-country partners (see table above) to adapt the implementation of the WCAR KRC#7 towards universal registration of boys and girls to the emerging and country-specific needs in this area. For instance, the evaluation will seek to come up with recommendations on how the programme could:
• Enhance political will and financial support to ensure every child enjoys his right to citizenship;
• enhance equitable access to birth registration and other basic services that may be conditioned by a birth certificate (e.g. health, education, etc.) for the most disadvantaged children;
• Sustainable enhancement of demand of birth registration by parents’ families and other caregivers;
• accelerate results to reach the 2021 KRC#7 targets in the region and in each country;
• identify and thoroughly document promising strategies that contributed to results achieved in better performing countries as well as challenges in countries with mitigated or low performances
