The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the relevance, efficiency, coherence, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the UNICEF supported strategies towards the KRC7 as:
♦ Strengthening and systematizing linkages between civil registration and the delivery platforms of other social services, including evidence generation, policy advocacy, inter-sectoral and inter-agency partnerships, and innovations.
♦ Promoting civil registration through national health systems and services – either through routine maternal and child health services or immunization campaigns – so that all children coming into contact with the health system are notified/declared within the civil registry.
♦ Working with the education sector to identify and register children without birth certificates at the time of school enrolment. For out-of-school and other vulnerable children, child welfare and social protection services – primarily cash transfer programmes – provide an additional opportunity to identify and facilitate registration of children not reached by the health and education services.
♦ Educating and mobilizing families and communities to increase demand for and use of services.
The formative evaluation will focus on interoperability with other health services, community engagement and CRVS Reform, as well as the assessment of coordination and implementation mechanisms. Further limited government funding is an evident bottleneck for sustainability that needs to be assessed and addressed.
