UNFPA has been working with the Government of Jordan since 1976. The 9th Country Programme (CP) (2018-2022) was aligned with the Jordan Vision 2025 and supported the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Evaluation of the UNFPA Jordan 9th Country Programme (2018-2022), aims at providing an independent assessment and demonstrating accountability to stakeholders on the performance towards achieving development results and on invested resources. In addition, the evaluation improves the strategic positioning of the UNFPA CO in Jordan, supports evidence-based decision-making and contributes key lessons learned to the knowledge base of the organization and the next UNFPA programming cycle.
The target audience of the Country Program Evaluation (CPE) is the UNFPA CO in Jordan (JCO), national stakeholders (relevant government agencies, national partners), the UNFPA Arab States Regional Office (ASRO). UNFPA Headquarters and the Executive Board, development partners including the donors and UN agencies in the country. The scope of the CPE covered the UNFPA’s implemented interventions under the 9th CP within the period between 2018 and 2022, inclusive of those in camps and facilities of host communities. Thematically, the evaluation covered the areas of sexual and reproductive health, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls and population and development. In addition, the evaluation covered cross-cutting issues such as youth empowerment, human rights, disability, coordination, M&E, innovation and partnerships
The evaluation is implemented in line with the Handbook on How to Design and Conduct Country Programme Evaluations at UNFPA (UNFPA Evaluation Handbook), which is available at: https://www.unfpa.org/EvaluationHandbook.
