En RDC, l'évaluation des programmes et politiques publiques n’est pas une pratique courante si bien que les processus de planification, d'élaboration ou de révision des politiques et programmes et de leur budgétisation, ne se basent pas sur des données probantes en vue d'améliorer leur efficacité, efficience et leur impact.
Dans une perspective d’apprentissage et de redevabilité pour une amélioration continue de la mise en oeuvre des
politiques publiques, il est nécessaire que celles-ci fassent l’objet d’évaluation.
Pour se faire, l’existence d’un cadre organisationnel, réglementaire et administratif régissant la pratique de l’évaluation en RDC s’avère nécessaire.
Au regard d’une telle nécessité, la section Politiques Sociales de l’UNICEF s’est engagée dans un processus de formulation d’une Politique Nationale d’Evaluation au profit de la RDC.
Pour ce faire, un consultant international a été engagé par l’UNICEF en 2025 pour l’élaboration d’un document de politique national d’évaluation accompagné d’un plan d’actions et d’une stratégie de communication.
L’objectif de la prestation était d’élaborer un document d’orientation définissant les cadres organisationnels, réglementaires, administratifs et juridiques devant régir la pratique de l’évaluation des politiques publiques en RDC. La vocation d’un tel document était de consolider la vision stratégique et le cadre opérationnel de la pratique évaluative en RDC. Cependant au stade actuel, le consultant commis à cette prestation a soumis un rapport provisoire dont la qualité est en dessous des standard et normes de qualité de l’UNICEF, ce qui n’a pas été jugé recevable. De ce fait, l’UNICEF souhaite recruter un consultant individuel pour la réécriture du document de politique national d’évaluation.
