VAC Evaluation: Bangladesh Case Study
Overview
UNICEF commissioned an independent evaluation to assess (a) the adequacy of UNICEF’s global and regional strategies in protecting children against violence and their application at the national level, (b) UNICEF’s leadership, leveraging and convening roles, and (c) the design, implementation and results of UNICEF-supported programmes addressing VAC, considering aspects of both prevention and response, (d) identify dominant programme models being implemented in various contexts and to (e) provide forward-looking conclusions, lessons and actionable recommendations. The evaluation concentrates on VAC in the family/household and the community, including both the public and private spheres. This includes sexual, physical and mental violence as well as harmful traditional practices and deliberate neglect and/or maltreatment by the caregiver. The evaluation does not cover self-inflicted violence, child labour and child marriage prevention, but does include VAC within these settings. The analysis of results through country programmes focused mainly on systems strengthening, social norms change, monitoring/research/evaluation/use of data, as these were the key result areas for addressing VAC in the MTSP. In addition, this evaluation looks at advocacy, leadership and partnerships and at equity as cross-cutting issues.
The evaluation provides concrete inputs to a forthcoming management review of the CP Strategy and to implementing the child protection objectives within the 2014-2017 strategic plan. Furthermore, it informs UNICEF’s positioning and future direction with regard to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG target 16.2 that reads “end abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children”. At the country level, the evaluation informs country-level policy and programme development and response over the coming years.
The current report covers one of four in-depth country case studies.
