Background:
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the lead United Nations agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. The strategic goal of UNFPA is to “achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health, realize reproductive rights, and accelerate progress on the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). With this call to action, UNFPA contributes directly to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in line with the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals”.
The UNFPA Jordan Country Office (JCO) is currently implementing the 10th Country Programme (CP) (2023-2027) with the Government of Jordan and other partners. The goal of the CP is to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health, realize reproductive rights, and reduce maternal mortality to improve the lives of women, adolescents, and youth. In pursuit of this goal, the UNFPA Jordan CO seeks to achieve results in the following thematic areas of programming under the CP: sexual and reproductive health and rights, adolescents and youth, gender equality and women’s empowerment, and population dynamics.
Purpose, objectives, and scope:
In line with the 2024 UNFPA Evaluation Policy, the UNFPA Jordan CO is planning to conduct an evaluation of its 10th CP (2023-2027). The purpose of the Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) is to strengthen accountability to stakeholders, support evidence-based decision-making, and improve learning. The overall objective of the CPE is to provide an independent assessment of the relevance and performance of the CP and to broaden the evidence base for the design of the next program cycle.
The evaluation will cover all interventions in the thematic areas of the CP, which have been implemented across Jordan during the program’s period. The thematic areas are described in section 3 of the terms of reference. In addition, the evaluation will also cover cross-cutting issues, such as human rights, gender equality, disability, displacement and migration status, etc., and transversal functions, such as coordination, monitoring and evaluation, innovation, resource mobilization, strategic partnerships, etc.
