UNICEF Mongolia Country Office (MCO) is seeking one national consultant to work jointly in conducting an evaluation of its Country Programme (2023-2027). Country Programme Evaluations (CPEs) in UNICEF fulfill a key role in identifying lessons which can inform the design of the next country programme or adjustments in the current country programme. The CPEs also provide opportunities to improve UNICEF’s performance in several key areas: (i) the contribution of the Programme to national development results; (ii) UNICEF’s contribution to advancing the SDGs through the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) results and (iii) UNICEF’s strategic positioning in relation to its child rights mandate.
The CPE will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of UNICEF’s 2023 Evaluation Policy and the norms and standards of the United Nations Development Group (UNEG). The evaluation will be carried out between June and December 2026, under the supervision of an Evaluation Management Team led by the Regional Evaluation Advisor (UNICEF EAPRO) and the Multi-Country Evaluation Specialist (MCES) for China, Mongolia and DPRK. An Evaluation Reference Group comprising key Country Programme partners will be established to support the participation of key stakeholders in the CPE process. This CPE presents an opportunity to support national evaluation capacity development.
