Reducing Stunting in Children Under Five Years of Age - Haiti Case Study
Overview
Given the global commitments, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) contracted with ICF to conduct an evaluation of UNICEF stunting-reduction efforts. The evaluation is the first formal, global attempt to assess UNICEF’s global strategies and country programme performance in reducing stunting among children under the age of five years. The evaluation consists of three related studies: a desk review of documents from 24 globally representative countries, in-depth case studies of UNICEF’s stunting reduction efforts and activities in six countries (which is the focus of this report), and a global synthesis of UNICEF efforts. Country selection took into account the range of country contexts where stunting is widely prevalent, giving attention to development settings and to contexts affected by fragility and humanitarian emergencies.
The case study addresses three UNICEF objectives:
1. Assess the relevance, appropriateness, and coherence of UNICEF’s country strategies and plans to address stunting in young children.
2. Assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of UNICEF’s country programmes in addressing stunting in young children, with particular attention to less-reached, disadvantaged, and vulnerable groups, and draw lessons on equitable progress in reducing stunting in various programme contexts.
3. Assess UNICEF’s leadership, guidance, and technical support, as well as the adequacy of UNICEF staffing and institutional capacity to respond to the lead role the organisation is expected to play at the field level in contributing to the sustainable and equitable reduction of stunting.
