The UNFPA Country Office (CO) of Mozambique commissioned the 9th Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) in line with the 2019 UNFPA Evaluation Policy. The CPE demonstrates accountability to stakeholders, supports evidence-based decision-making and contributes key lessons to inform and broaden the evidence base to design the next programme cycle.

The overall purpose of this Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) is to conduct an independent assessment of relevance, performance and sustainability of UNFPA support provided to Albania within 2017-2021 4th CP. The evaluation has three specific objectives. First, to provide an independent assessment of the progress of the country programme towards the expected outputs and outcomes set forth in the results framework of the country programme. Second, to provide an assessment of the country office’s positioning within the developing community and national partners, in view of its ability to respond to national priority needs while adding value to the country development results. And third, to draw key lessons from the past and current cooperation and provide a set of clear, specific and action-oriented forward-looking strategic recommendations in light of the Agenda 2030 for the next programming cycle.

The purpose of this Country Programme Evaluation was to conduct an independent assessment of the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of UNFPA support to the Kyrgyz Republic within the 2018-2022 4th country programme. This evaluation will enhance the accountability of UNFPA and its country office for its country programme’s relevance and performance and broaden the evidence base for the design of the next programming cycle.
