UNICEF Evaluation Policy 2023 emphasizes the importanceto conduct a Country Program Evaluation (CPE), every two programming cycles, to guide the development and implementation of subsequent UNICEF country programs, in accordance with theuation and principles for its usegoes to the expected and planned national results and, c) whether the Country Program has improved or is improving the strategic positioning of UNICEF to promote the realization of children's rights in the country. The two main purposes of the UNICEF EPP2 in Panama are, on the one hand, toprovide inputs and lessons learned for the preparation of the next cooperation program (2026-2030) and, on the other hand, promote accountability for UNICEF's work in Panama. The EPP will also be an input for the planned joint development process of the Cooperation Framework forfor the United Nations Sustainable Development (UNSDCF) for the period 2026-2030. Objective(s) of the consultancy The evaluation of the cooperation program will be both summative and formative. Firstly, for the summative part, we seek to achieve a better understanding of the types of resultss and achievements, both expected and unexpected, derived from the Program as a whole and its implementation taking into consideration the strategies used for it between 2021 and 2023, and both financial and human resources (programmatic structure). The evaluation will use as a source ofreport the findings and recommendations of the program's mid-term review process carried out in the second half of 2023. In addition, evaluators must carry out an evaluability analysis during the inception phase. The evaluability analysis must analyze the questions and ccriteria, ensure that the evaluation objectives are achievable and that the questions can be answered in terms of data availability. You must also analyze whether there is sufficient data to respond to criteria not included (i.e., efficiency and impact). For the training part of the evassessment, the objective is to identify lessons learned and central areas of work for the design and implementation of the next CPD that will begin in 2026. The main objectives of this evaluation are:1. Evaluate the relevance, effectiveness, coherence and sustainability of the CPD 2021-2025, basedin an analysis of the strategies applied and the alliances established to achieve each result taking into account the changing context of the country during the evaluation period (2021-2024) and the consequent challenges and opportunities.2.
