UNICEF WCAR Meta-Evaluation Quality of Evaluation Reports 2007-08
Overview
The main purpose of the meta-evaluation is to provide baseline information on
the quality of evaluations and their focus and to inform the process of
strengthening the evaluation function in WCAR in line with the UNICEF
Evaluation Policy . The results of the meta-evaluation are planned to be used
by the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation section of UNICEF WCARO in
collaboration with the Evaluation Steering Committee, to develop a plan of
action for improving the quality of evaluation in the region so that all
evaluations meet the quality standards set out by the OECD DAC as reflected in
Norms and Standards for Evaluation approved by the UN Evaluation Group (UNEG) .
It is expected that the meta-evaluation will increase the awareness of
evaluation quality issues among Regional Office and Country Office Managers.
The meta-evaluation results are expected to encourage them to utilize good
practice in upcoming evaluation design and management. High quality evaluations
in turn are expected to contribute to building knowledge on what does and what
does not work in programming and to enable design and implementation of more
effective and sustainable interventions. A follow-up evaluation quality
assessment is planned for 2011 to gauge progress in improving the quality of
evaluations in the region.
The overall objective of the meta-evaluation:

WCAR during the period 2007 and 2008.
