Somalia Country Programme Evaluation – 2018 - 2020 Acknowledgement The Evaluation Team wishes to thank UNFPA for the opportunity to successfully undertake the Somalia third Country Programme Evaluation. We are particularly grateful to the UNFPA Somalia staff members who, despite other pressing commitments in their responsibilities, were so responsive and gave us all the support that we needed to accomplish our work. We appreciate the CO leadership, led by the Country Representative, Anders Thomsen and his deputy, Walter Mendonca-Filho for their support and contribution to the successful implementation of the CPE. We particularly recognize the invaluable support of the M & E Specialist, Dr. Haider Rasheed and Ms. Stephanie Mugure for successful field coordination and facilitation of our virtual interview sessions, respectively; as well as the ASRO M&E Adviser, Dr. Olugbemiga Adelakin for the invaluable support and guidance during the CPE. We appreciate the participation of members of the Evaluation Reference Group, especially those who took time to provide comments towards improving the quality of the CPE design and report. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions made by the UNFPA CO staff and stakeholders, without whom the CPE would not have been successful. The information provided, despite other commitments, was very useful in enriching this report and providing feedback to the CO. The Evaluation Team hopes that the findings and recommendations presented in this report will positively contribute to building a sound foundation for the development of 4th UNFPA Somalia country programme, national development plans and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) in Somalia. ii | Page Somalia Country Programme Evaluation – 2018 - 2020 Table of Contents Map of Somalia i Acknowledgement ii List of Tables v List of Figures. v ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS vi Somalia: Key Facts ix CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Purpose and Objectives of the CPE 1 1.2 Scope of the Evaluation 1 1.3 Methodology and Process 2 1.3.1.1 Evaluation Criteria and Evaluation Questions 2 1.3.1.2 Evaluation Approach 4 1.3.1.3 Methods for Data Collection 6 1.3.1.4 Data Validation, Analysis and Report Writing 7 1.3.2 Selection of the Sample of Stakeholders 8 1.3.3 Evaluation Process 9 CHAPTER 2: COUNTRY CONTEXT 10 2.1 Development Challenges 10 2.1.1 Sexual and reproductive health 12 2.1.2 Adolescents and Youth 13 2.1.3 Gender Equality and women’s empowerment 14 2.1.4 Population dynamics 15 2.2 The Role of External Assistance 16 CHAPTER 3: UNITED NATIONS / UNFPA RESPONSE AND PROGRAMME STRATEGIES 19 3.1 United Nations/ UNFPA Strategic Response 19 3.2 UNFPA Response through the Country Programme 19 3.2.1 Brief Description of UNFPA Previous Cycle Strategy, Goals and Achievements 19 3.2.2 Current UNFPA Country Programme 21 3.2.3 The Country Programme Financial Structure of the Programme 23 CHAPTER 4: FINDINGS: ANSWERS TO THE EVALUATION QUESTIONS 27 4.1 Introduction 27 4.2 Relevance 27 iii | Page Somalia Country Programme Evaluation – 2018 - 2020 4.3 Effectiveness 37 4.3.1 Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights 37 4.3.2 Adolescent and Youth 45 4.3.3 Gender Equality and Women Empowerment 49 4.3.4 Population Dynamics 56 5.3.5 UNFPA’s Contribution to the Somalia Humanitarian Response 63 4.3.6 Gender and Human rights-based approaches integration into the 3rd Country Programme 65 4.4 Efficiency 67 4.5 Sustainability 77 4.6 Coordination 84 4.7 Coverage 87 4.8 Connectedness 89 4.9 Lessons learnt 91 CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSIONS 92 5.1 Introduction 92 5.2 Strategic Level 92 5.3 Programmatic Level 97 CHAPTER 6: RECOMMENDATIONS 104 6.1 Introduction 104 6.2 Strategic Level 104 6.3 Programmatic Level 107 ANNEXES 112 iv | Page Somalia Country Programme Evaluation – 2018 - 2020 List of Tables Table 2.1 ODA for Somalia in the CPD Period (2018 -2020) ..................................................................... 17 Table 3.1 2nd Country Programme Areas, Outcome and Outputs ............................................................. 20 Table 3.2 3rd Country Programme Outcome, Output and Interventions .................................................... 22 Table 3.3 Proposed Amount allocated for the Somalia CP ........................................................................ 23 Table 3. 4 CP Budget Utilization rate .......................................................................................................... 24 Table 4.1 M&E Framework for the Sexual and Reproductive Health component of the 3rd CP ................ 38 Table 4.2 M&E Framework for the Adolescent and Youth component of the 3rd CP ................................ 45 Table 4.3 M&E Framework for the Gender Equality and Women‟s Empowerment component of the 3rd CP ............................................................................................................................................................... 50 Table 4.4 Results Framework for the Population Dynamics component of the 3rd CP ............................. 58 Table 4.5 CP M&E activities and frequency of implementation .................................................................. 74 List of Figures.
