Across the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENAR), the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children, adolescents and women is increasing, including in the Gulf area. In MENAR an estimated 9 per cent of children under 5 years of age are living with overweight, within the Gulf sub-region this ranges between 7 -12 per cent, all of which are higher than the global estimate of 6 per cent. The rates increase in children aged 5-19 years, with 33 per cent living with overweight in MENAR, with the range in Gulf countries between 39 and 47 per cent, compared to 20 per cent globally. MENAR is the region with the highest prevalence of women aged over 18 years living with overweight, at 68 per cent, compared to the global average of 40%, the Gulf sub-region estimates range between 69 and 82 per cent. These figures highlight the need to take immediate action to address overweight prevention in the Gulf sub-region, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Consultant - Diagnostic review on the use of methodological approaches and evaluation methods in UN evaluations – Team Member- Req #575895 in United States
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? In an effort to answer these questions, the UNEG Methods group seeks to hire consultant(s) who will carry out a diagnostic review of the different evaluation methods and approaches used across UN evaluation exercises. The overarching objective of the review will be to assess the prevalence, common patterns and trends in the use of standard social science methods (e.g., quantitative and qualitative) and specific evaluation approaches. This will provide ground for stimulating a dialogue on system-level changes required to improve quality, credibility, and utilization within individual UN agencies, funds and programmes.
