Young People's Participation in the CEE/CIS and the Baltics Region
Overview
This evaluation was commissioned to provide evidence of the extent UNICEF's current work in promoting young people's participation is systematically applied in all aspects of programming. The findings of the evaluation were expected to provide a better understanding of what strengthens meaningful participation of young people in decision-making. It was also anticipated that the evaluation would assist the efforts of the UN, bilateral partners and governments in fostering good governance processes that include young people's participation.
The participation of young people is still quite new in the region. It was felt that a formative evaluation process was required to guide the refinement of the design and implementation of programmes to support meaningful and sustained participation of young people. This evaluation covers three main areas: 1) results of the Young Voices opinion survey, published in August 2001; 2) participation approaches and entry points; and 3) young people's participation in UNICEF programme planning, monitoring, research and evaluation. Its overarching objectives were to develop more strategic responses to promoting young people's participation in UNICEF's work, and to enhance children's and young people's participation in decision-making processes.
The evaluation findings will inform the efforts of UNICEF and governments to effectively promote young people's participation, and will be used by partners to foster the interaction between young people, government and civil society. The evaluation will also provide a basis for a regional consultation with Country Office (CO) programme staff and partners from selected countries to guide and strengthen programming focusing on young people's participation.
