UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child Hope Purpose of the evaluability analysis This evaluability analysis covers the programme of cooperation between the Government of Gabon and UNICEF for the period 2023 to 2027 approved by the UNICEF Executive Board in September 2022. The budget for the implementation of this programme is estimated at $4340000 in regular resources and $8000000 in other resources. The program adopts a multisectoral strategy focused on the most vulnerable populations through the demonstration of innovative models at the decentralized level strengthened partnerships with municipalities civil society organizations and the private sector and the production and analysis of solid evidence to support advocacy inform public policies and serve as a lever for results for children. Particular emphasis will be placed on access to pre-primary the operationalization of basic health departments the reliability of the supply chain of essential drugs and the sustainability of the sources of financing of the health system access to universal health coverage. Collaboration with sectoral ministries other United Nations agencies technical and financial partners the private sector civil society and will be essential in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals as set out in the national reference frameworks. Context and justification * Socio-demographic and political context Gabon's population is estimated at 2.23 million inhabitants in 2021 87% of whom live in urban areas. Nearly one in three inhabitants lives in Libreville. The population under 19 years of age represents 1 million of this population. Although Gabon's HDI places the country in the category of high human development countries the incidence of poverty remains a major concern. The incidence of poverty is estimated at 33%; It is more pronounced in rural areas (59.5%) than in urban areas (29.4%). However due to the country's high urbanization the absolute number of poor people living in urban areas is between 3 and 4 times higher[1]. The under-5 mortality rate and the neonatal mortality rate are 41.7 and 19.7 deaths per thousand live births respectively. With a mortality of 11 per 100000 inhabitants in 2021 malaria is the leading cause of consultation (24%) and hospitalization in Gabon. It is also the first pocket of current health expenditure. Malaria remains a major public health problem in Gabon both in the general population and among children under 5 years of age. According to the same report 44 per cent of children aged 12-23 months received all basic vaccines at any time prior to the survey and 33 per cent had received them at the appropriate age. In contrast 10% of children aged 12–23 months did not receive any vaccine. Full immunization coverage of children aged 12–23 months shows an increase in the percentage of children immunized since 2000 from 15% to 32% to 45% in 2019–21. In the same period the percentage of children who received all basic vaccines at the appropriate age also increased from 14% to 28% and 33% respectively (DHS 2019-2023). This vision will be achieved through * reducing the primary school repetition rate from 25% to 20% and the rate of sexual violence against children from 9% to 8%; * vaccination coverage in Pentavalent 3 of 80% in at least 60% of health departments as well as an increase in the use of the insecticide-treated mosquito net from 39% to 50% and in the medical management of children for fever from 76% to 88%; and * increased access to social safety nets and universal health coverage for boys and girls from vulnerable households from 38 to 50 per cent. The CPD has four components * Universal and equitable access to health * Universal and equitable access to resilient quality education and protection * Strengthened equality inclusion and social protection * Program effectiveness The SCP aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027 in particular the third outcome (outcome) which aims to:  By 2027 at least 80% of the population especially the most vulnerable regardless of age sex origin have access to quality integrated resilient and inclusive social services in education health social protection water sanitation and hygiene and social and gender inequalities are reduced. This result is based on the Emerging Gabon Strategic Plan. In addition the programme is articulated on the Convention on the Rights of the Child UNICEF's Strategic Plan 2022-2025 the Sustainable Development Goals the African Union's Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. Objectives The NPP evaluability study will pursue the following objectives: * Analysis of the process in place for the development/revision of the Programme's theory of change based on the availability of documentation; * Appreciate the data collection and analysis system that will be used to track and report on progress towards achieving results.

The questions of the evaluability study The questions below will be refined by the consultant ( E) in consultation with the Country Office and the Evaluation Section of the WCARO Regional Office The consultant will develop specific data collection tools tailored to each target population. Programme Logic * To what extent has the CPD's theory of change correctly identified assumptions and risks? * To what extent are the results chains coherent logical and characterized by clearly articulated statements? * To what extent does CPD's theory of change incorporate the logic of intersectorality? * To what extent is the theory of change informed of risks? What changes if any in the theory of change (TOC) and in the alignment of programme activities objectives and indicators would be needed to improve the evaluability of the country programme? * To what extent is the results framework coherently articulated and aligned with the country context national priorities and SDGs UNSCDF Regional Priorities (KRC) CRC and UNICEF Strategic Plan? Monitoring and Evaluation System * To what extent are cross-cutting priorities (i.e. gender disability climate change and equity) integrated into the formulation of results and definition of indicators and their targets? * To what extent are beneficiary groups clearly identified and targeted? * To what extent is the CPD supported by a monitoring system to collect and systematize information with responsibilities sources and defined periodicity? * To what extent are the results and indicators clear realistic and measurable to capture what should happen or be achieved from year to year until the end of the programme? What changes to the current planning monitoring evaluation and reporting systems are needed to enable the country office to adequately monitor and report on progress against country programme objectives?

More than half of all livelihoods in India is primarily dependent on agriculture. A massive 54.6% of the total workforce is engaged in agricultural and allied sector activities and 57% of the rural households are directly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. However the agricultural sector is facing various challenges like small landholding declining productivity rising input costs declining farm income the adverse impact of climate change and decline in the percentage share of workers engaged in the agriculture sector. Agricultural production shocks have huge social and financial repercussions impacting rural income levels Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and poverty rates. The Government of India’s flagship schemes Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) and KCC/MISS have become important tools to strengthen the resilience of Indian farmers. The schemes ensure maximum benefits for the farmers by providing financial risk protection against natural calamities and catastrophic events including pests climate uncertainties and environmental shocks. Apart from providing comprehensive risk coverage for the entire crop cycle PMFBY also enables direct claim transfer into farmers’ accounts through e-remittance. Additionally to address agrarian distress Kisan Credit Card/ Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS) was introduced by the Government of India to provide cheap and hassle-free credit to millions of farmers and to ensure continued investment into agriculture to bring in mechanization modernize agriculture practices and eventually enhance productivity. UNDP’s Country Programme Document (2023-2027) intended outcome 2 states that “By 2027 people will benefit from and contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth through higher productivity competitiveness and diversification in economic activities that create decent work livelihoods and income particularly for youth and women”. UNDP leverages its expertise in systems strengthening to support the Ministry of Agriculture through the setting up of Central Program Management Unit (CPMU) for the implementation of PMFBY and KCC to improve institutional and programme responsiveness increase coverage and better access among marginalized and excluded farm households offering innovative measures and support mechanisms for Agri-value chain financing risk management and reduced crop loss for the rural population in India.
