This is an evaluation of UNICEF’s response and programme strategies in the Central African Republic from July 2013 to December 2014. Its purpose is to inform UNICEF’s programming in the country, provide impartial evidence and offer practical recommendations. The evaluation follows the declaration of the L3 emergency procedure for CAR in December 2013. It serves the primary purposes of:
(i) a formative purpose, to 'Inform UNICEF’s programming (in CAR) for 2015/2016 as well as the L3 transition strategy,'
(ii) a summative purpose, to 'Provide impartial evidence and generate information on how UNICEF has responded to the crisis since July 2013 to December 2014,' and
(iii) an advisory purpose, to 'Examine the application of the L3 procedures in supporting the response, including the role of Headquarters (HQ) and the Regional Office (RO), and provide practical and actionable recommendations on the L3 transition strategy.' It should be noted that actually the evaluation period was extended into 2015, due to various reasons.
Three user-focused objectives were established at the inception phase:
1.A strategic objective: To provide well-founded recommendations to the Representative Country Office (Rep/CO) and the General Emergency Coordinator (GEC)/RO for developing the CAR response, programme strategies and components in 2015;
2.An accountability objective: To provide an impartial assessment of the CAR response, programme strategies and components for UNICEF’s response partners and oversight function; and
3.A learning objective: to explain lessons learned, strengths, and areas for improvement in the CAR response and to enable knowledge managers to understand effectiveness and main factors.
