Lessons learned and best practices Lessons learned concern the learning experiences and insights that were gained throughout the project/ programme. 20. To what extent did the project/programme implement recommendations of relevant previous evaluation(s)? 21.

VI. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY All evaluations of the United Nations system are guided by the principles of human rights, gender equality, and leaving no one behind. Gender-sensitive evaluation methods and gender-sensitive data collection techniques are therefore essential in order to identify key gender issues, address marginalized, hard-to-reach and vulnerable population, as well as to define strategies for developing appropriate data bases for better gender analysis in future project planning. Please adapt, if needed, the below standard text to your specific project/programme.

The methods used to collect and analyse data This evaluation will use methodologies and techniques as determined by the specific needs for information, the questions set out in the TOR and the availability of stakeholders. In all cases, the evaluation team is expected to analyse all relevant information sources, such as reports, programme documents, thematic programmes, internal review reports, programme files, evaluation reports (if available), financial reports and any other documents that may provide further evidence for triangulation, on which their conclusions will be based. The evaluation team is also expected to use interviews, surveys or any other relevant quantitative and/or qualitative tools as a means to collect relevant data for the evaluation. While maintaining independence, the evaluation will be carried out based on a participatory approach, which seeks the views and assessments of all parties identified as the key stakeholders of the project/ programme, the Core Learning Partners (CLP).

The present ToR provide basic information as regards to the methodology, which should not be understood as exhaustive. It is rather meant to guide the evaluation team in elaborating an effective, efficient, and appropriate evaluation methodology that should be proposed, explained and justified in the Inception Report.

In addition, the evaluation team will be asked to present a summarized methodology (including an evaluation matrix) in the Inception Report outlining the evaluation criteria, indicators, sources of information and methods of data collection. The

8 evaluation methodology must conform to the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Norms and Standards as well as the UNODC Evaluation Policy, Norms and Standards.

While the evaluation team shall fine-tune the methodology for the evaluation in an Inception Report, a mixed-methods approach of qualitative and quantitative methods is mandatory due to its appropriateness to ensure a gender-sensitive, inclusive methodology. Special attention shall be paid to an unbiased and objective approach and the triangulation of sources, methods, data, and theories. Indeed, information stemming from secondary sources will be cross-checked and triangulated through data retrieved from primary research methods. Primary data collection methods need to be gender- sensitive as well as inclusive.

The credibility of the data collection and analysis are key to the evaluation. Rival theories and competing explanations must be tested once plausible patterns emerge from triangulating data.

The limitations to the evaluation need to be identified and discussed by the evaluation team in the Inception Report, e.g. data constraints (such as missing baseline and monitoring data). Potential limitations as well as the chosen mitigating measures should be discussed.

When designing the evaluation data collection tools and instruments, the evaluation team needs to consider the analysis of certain relevant or innovative topics in the form of short case studies, analyses, etc. that would benefit the evaluation results.

The main elements of the evaluation process are the following:  Preliminary desk review of all relevant project documentation, (Annex II of the evaluation ToR), as provided by the Project Manager and as further requested by the evaluation team, as well as relevant external documents (e.g. UNDAFs; SDGs; UN and global/regional strategies; etc.);  Preparation and submission of an Inception Report (containing preliminary findings of the desk review, refined evaluation questions, data collection instruments, sampling strategy, limitations to the evaluation, and timetable) to IEU for review and clearance before any field mission may take place;  Initial meetings and interviews with the Project Manager and other UNODC staff as well as stakeholders during the field mission;  Interviews (face-to-face or by telephone/skype), with key project stakeholders and beneficiaries, both individually and (as appropriate) in small groups/focus groups, as well as using surveys, questionnaires or any other relevant quantitative and/or qualitative tools as a means to collect relevant data for the evaluation;  Analysis of all available information;  Preparation of the draft evaluation report (based on Guidelines for Evaluation Report and Template Report to be found on the IEU website http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/index.html). The lead evaluator submits the draft report to the Project Manager for the review of factual errors (copying IEU) and the Project Manager shares with IEU for review, comments and clearance. Subsequently the Project Manager shares the final draft report with all CLPs for comments.  Preparation of the final evaluation report and an Evaluation Brief (2-pager). The evaluation team incorporates the necessary and requested changes and finalizes

9 the evaluation report in accordance with the feedback received from IEU, the Project Manager and CLPs. It further includes a PowerPoint presentation on final evaluation findings and recommendations;  Presentation of final evaluation report with its findings and recommendations to the target audience, stakeholders etc. (in person or if necessary through Skype).  In conducting the evaluation, the UNODC and the UNEG Evaluation Norms and Standards are to be taken into account. All tools, norms and templates to be mandatorily used in the evaluation process can be found on the IEU website: http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/index.html.

The sources of data The evaluation will utilize a mixture of primary and secondary sources of data. The primary sources include, among others, interviews with key stakeholders (face-to-face or by telephone), the use of surveys and questionnaires, field missions for case studies, focus group interviews, observation and other participatory techniques. Secondary data sources will include project documents and their revisions, progress and monitoring reports, external reports and strategies (e.g. UNDAFs; SDGs; country/regional/global strategies; etc.) and all other relevant documents, including visual information (e.g. eLearning, pictures, videos, etc.).

Desk Review The evaluation team will perform a desk review of all existing documentation (please see the preliminary list of documents to be consulted in Annex II of the evaluation ToR). This list is however not to be regarded as exhaustive as additional documentation may be requested by the evaluation team. The evaluation team needs to ensure that sufficient external documentation is used for the desk review.

Phone interviews / face-to-face consultations The evaluation team will conduct phone interviews / face-to-face consultations with identified individuals from the following groups of stakeholders:  Member States (including recipients and donors);  relevant international and regional organizations;  Non-governmental organizations working with UNODC;  UNODC management and staff at HQ and in the field;  Etc.

Questionnaire A questionnaire (on-line) is to be developed and used in order to help collect the views of additional stakeholders (e.g. trainees, counterparts, partners, etc.), if deemed appropriate.
