The SPCF 2013-2016 implementation ended on 31 December 2016. Given that the new SPCF (2017-2021) is already being implemented, the conduct of the final evaluation for the previous SPCF (2013-2016) is critical since the findings and recommendations will provide the needed lessons learned for the implementation of the current SPCF (2017-2021) and future ones. Thus the purpose of undertaking the evaluation is to:
• Learn about what has worked, what has not and why, in the specific context of Eritrea and in the particular collaborative efforts of the UNCT;
• Verify results achieved within the revised framework of the SPCF;
• Assess the effectiveness of the strategies and interventions used; and
• Focus on aspects related to the implementation of the SPCF with the express aim of formulating lessons learnt and providing recommendations for improvements in the implementation of the current SPCF and UN Agencies’ programme cycle, including strategy, design and implementation arrangements.
The evaluation will assess the work of UN agencies in Eritrea along the following three dimensions:
a) Accountability: Assess the contribution of the SPCF 2013-2016 to national priorities and results, based on qualitative (perception) and quantitative evidence, articulating the changes that have occurred in a logical chain of results, which speaks to the accountability of the UN system.
b) Explanatory factors: Identify the factors that have affected the UNCT's performance and its contributions, answering the question of why the performance is as it is and explaining the enabling factors and critical bottlenecks; and
c) Continuous improvement: Assess the effectiveness of the UN in implementing the SPCF, particularly the extent to which progress has been achieved and what difference it has made. The evaluation is expected to generate actionable recommendations for improving UN contributions under the current programme cycle.
