Overview : The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) carries out Independent Country Programme Reviews (ICPRs) to assess UNDP’s contributions to national development results and evaluate the effectiveness of UNDP’s strategy. The purpose of the ICPR is to: i) support the development of the next UNDP Country Programme Document, and ii) strengthen accountability of UNDP to national stakeholders and to the Executive Board. In 2020, IEO will conduct the ICPR of the UNDP Belize country programme (2017-21). In this regard, IEO is seeking a national/regional think tank, academic institutions or research institute, to conduct an in-depth country context analysis in the area of governance, focusing on topics that are relevant to the UNDP country programme in Belize (Outcome 3) and the United Nations Multi country Sustainable Development Framework for the Caribbean region (UN MSDF), such as anti-corruption, access to justice, citizen security including diversion and reintegration of at-risk youth and violence against women, social protection, human rights, among others.
