| Overview : The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) conducts country evaluations called, “Assessments of Development Results (ADRs)” to capture and demonstrate evaluative evidence of UNDP’s contributions to development results at the country level, as well as the effectiveness of UNDP’s strategy in facilitating and leveraging national effort for achieving development results. ADRs are independent evaluations carried out within the overall provisions contained in the UNDP Evaluation Policy. Based on the principle of national ownership, IEO seeks to conduct ADRs in collaboration with the national Government.
This is the first ADR conducted in the United Republic of Tanzania, which is conducted in close collaboration with the Government of Tanzania, UNDP Tanzania Country Office and Regional Bureau of Africa (RBA). The ADR assesses UNDP programme results in the last two cycles, 2007-2010/2011 and 2011-2015 (recently extended by one year to 2016), with a view to contributing to the preparation of UNDP’s new programme starting from 2017, which is guided by the forthcoming United National Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP) starting in the same year. The evaluation has two main components: (1) the analysis of the UNDP’s contribution to development results through its thematic/programmatic areas; and (2) the strategic positioning of UNDP. For each component, the ADR will present its findings and assessment, as defined in the ADR Method Manual.
The IEO will establish an evaluation team to undertake the ADR. Two staff members from IEO - Evaluation Manager (EM) and Associate Evaluation Manager (AEM) – will lead the conduct of evaluation and ensure the quality of analyses and the final evaluation report. Technical expertise of external team specialists will be sought, who have substantive knowledge and expertise in thematic areas covered in the country programme and have insights into country context. Each team specialist will be responsible for preparing respective written inputs (“cluster” paper(s) with in-depth analyses of corresponding outcomes), in accordance with the format and instruction given by EM/AEM, which will be used for the synthesis of results and in the preparation of the final ADR report. Team Specialists will be recruited in the following “clusters”: (1) Capacity Building (Economic Policies, Planning, and Budgeting; Aid Management); (2) Private Sector Development and Public Private Partnership; (3) Democratic Governance; (4) Crisis Prevention and Recovery (Disaster Risk Reduction/ Management, Conflict Prevention); and (5) Environment and Energy (Environment and Natural Resource Management, Energy and Climate Change).
