Abstract

The mid-term evaluation compares strategy with projected outputs and outcomes, identifying opportunities, implementation constraints, gaps and recommendations for refocusing the project as needed. The Centre of Excellence (COE) for Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Systems serves as a global resource hub to improve CRVS systems capacity to track progress on women's, newborns’, children's and adolescents' health in the Global Financing Facility (GFF) countries. Many countries are investing heavily in developing ID systems without any concomitant effort to develop CRVS systems. The COE work highlights the importance of CRVS in the establishment of an efficient ID system and encourages better understanding of their complementarity.

Description

This report covers the second stage of the evaluation which can be considered the ‘main evaluation’. In addition to measuring progress against the stated results at various levels in the logic model, it seeks to answer evaluation questions listed in Section 2.3.2 of the Request for Proposal (RFP) (see Annex 2) covering five broad areas namely, institutional development; global mandate; country level programming; integration of gender; and future work.
