Rationale: The purpose of the independent evaluation of the RCCE component of the UNICEF contribution to the COVD-19 crisis response in the Middle East and North Africa region is to identify drivers of high performing country offices. The evaluation will gather and analyse information from different sources to be able to allow a reflection on the implementation of UNICEF country offices’ response to COVID-19 in the region related to influencing key behaviours. The evaluation will utilize indicators and experience from the global level on COVID-19 risk perceptions and behavioural framework and analysis and will complement it. The outcome of the evaluation is expected to assist with the future vision for RCCE in MENA.
The evaluation exercise aims at providing impartial and independent evidence to assist the country offices, the regional C4D team, and ultimately UNICEF HQ to strengthen the RCCE component and its contribution to the ultimate objectives for the fulfilment of child rights at the time of an epidemy / protracted crisis. The evaluation will provide also accountability to UNICEF, donors, Governments, communities and rights-holders with respect to whether UNICEF, through the implementation of RCCE, is fit for purpose and strategically positioned to contribute to the COVID-19 response – especially at a crucial time when the RCCE effort remains high on preventive measures and also focus more and more on vaccine acceptance.
