Abstract:

I4DI conducted an evaluation of the UNICEF Country Programme 2016-2020 in Serbia as a formative evaluation that critically assessed the strategies applied in the current Country Programme (CP) against the standard evaluation criteria adopted by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD): relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and impact. The evaluation’s primary purpose was to inform the design and provide recommendations for the development of the new Country Programme Document (CPD) 2021–2025 between UNICEF and the Government of the Republic of Serbia.
The evaluation also assessed the extent to which the CP design and the implementation have been fit-for-purpose, and whether equity, gender equality, and human rights-based approaches have been incorporated throughout. Furthermore, this evaluation assessed significant and promising interventions implemented throughout the current program cycle.
