The purpose of the assessment, according to the Terms of Reference, "is to assess what impact this communications prominence had on government policies and UNICEF's country programmes in the tsunami zone, and to draw lessons learned with a view to improving the future use of communication, in support of UNICEF programming and advocacy… the study would primarily look at the impact of UNICEF's communication work in Indonesia and Sri Lanka."
The basic elements of the assessment that are outlined in the Terms of Reference include:
· a timeline of UNICEF's major communication outputs during the six months following the tsunami, with particular emphasis on the first six weeks;
· a review of progress in UNICEF's programmes and advocacy on the issues related to the key messages outlined above, and the links with the national and local policy development;
· an analysis of how media messaging and specific programme actions and advocacy were decided upon;
· inclusion of observations of UNICEF staff and key partners on UNICEF's prominence in the media and the level of influence this had on advocacy and action.
