Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Conducted between October 2019 and September 2020, the evaluation assessed Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic positioning and role and the extent to which Â鶹ÊÓƵ has made the strategic shift expected by the CSP; Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s contributions to strategic outcomes; efficiency; factors that explain Â鶹ÊÓƵ performance; and the appropriateness of the Level 3 response to the Rohingya crisis.

The evaluation concluded that:

• Â鶹ÊÓƵ was effective in responding to the expansion of needs in the country, although the shift to the Level 3 response contributed to a disruption in the strategic direction of the CSP. 
• Despite best efforts, there are clear challenges to Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s ability to make an organizational shift to institutional capacity strengthening. Elements including staff expertise, flexible funding, broader engagement with government would need adjustment to achieve  successful institutional capacity strengthening.
• Clearer linkages between CSP activities and outcomes would enable Â鶹ÊÓƵ to fully capture its contribution to progress on the various SDGs. Operational focus on cross-cutting areas (gender, protection, inclusion) requires more effort to mainstream across all outcomes.
• Â鶹ÊÓƵ has effective, fast response mechanisms in place and is well placed to continue in its trusted role, while supporting and strengthening national development programmes to mitigate the long-term impact of disasters on vulnerable groups.
• For the next CSP, Â鶹ÊÓƵ may need to reprioritize to engage strategically in national nutrition-sensitive social safety nets.
