Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The evaluation was conducted between September 2021 and June 2022 to assess Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic positioning and role and the extent to which Â鶹ÊÓƵ made the strategic shift expected by the CSP; Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s contributions to strategic outcomes; efficiency and factors that explained Â鶹ÊÓƵ performance.

It concluded that: 

• Â鶹ÊÓƵ achieved strong results in a challenging context and made progress towards achieving the CSP strategic outcomes in terms of output and outcome delivery. Its monitoring and analysis helped Â鶹ÊÓƵ to make the strategic shifts set out in the CSP and to adapt to the changing context.
• Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s choice to move most of its support to e-vouchers was useful as it created efficiencies. The country office operated effectively within a range of collaborative partnerships with UN agencies and civil society organizations. Its service delivery platform helped UN agencies ¡®Deliver as One¡¯, facilitating complementarity, cost-effectiveness, and results.
• Â鶹ÊÓƵ played a role in stabilizing and supporting conditions for peace, particularly in Gaza. Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s support to basic needs contributed to social stability. Gender and protection were integrated within the CSP and were effectively mainstreamed operationally.
• Whilst the cessation of funding from Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s largest donor had a dramatic impact, to its credit, Â鶹ÊÓƵ responded rapidly and was able to mitigate the impact on beneficiaries.  
• Few of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s achievements to date will be sustained without continued engagement and investment. Donor fatigue is increasing, and the economic downturn due to COVID-19 in donor countries and new humanitarian crises will also limit resource availability.
