Consultant - Diagnostic review on the use of methodological approaches and evaluation methods in UN evaluations – Team Leader - Req #575927 in United States
The mission of the UNICEF evaluation function is to help drive results for children by fostering evidence-informed decision making. Evaluation in UNICEF supports both learning and decision-making, which in turn support better results for children. Evaluation also helps to hold UNICEF accountable for contributing to results for children, or for failing to do so. UNICEF’S evaluation function, along with the evaluation units of many other UN agencies, are a part of the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), an interagency professional network that aims to promote, strengthen and advocate for a robust, influential, independent and credible evaluation function throughout the UN system. In the past few years, as a part of these efforts to understand and promote the use of evaluative methods, the UNEG Methods Working Group has developed a compendium of methods (Issue I and II) with illustrative examples and organized dedicated learning seminars. These endeavors received very positive informal feedback, but they were not necessarily based on systematic assessment of methods currently used or misused by the UN evaluation community. We know relatively little of the extent to which standard social science methods and specific evaluative approaches were applied in UN evaluation practice- what are the common patterns in approaches used? what are some of the systematic issues related to the methodological approaches of UN evaluations?
