UNFPA and partners in the GoIRA, particularly the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), the Central Statistics Organization (CSO), the Deputy Ministry of Youth Affairs (DMoYA), the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MOWA) and the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Agency (ANDMA), have collaborated on Country Programme 3 (CP3, 2010-2014). The CP3 outcomes are: a) utilization of RH information and increased family planning; b) young people adopt healthy lifestyles; c) increased utilization of socio-demographic data, d) prioritization of needs of young people and women’s rights; and, e) environment conducive to eliminating gender based violence.
Through commissioning an independent evaluation of CP3, UNFPA is contributing to the elaboration of the Country Programme 4 (CP4). The major purposes of the evaluation are to assess progress in achieving the approved results, to provide insight into management and sector strategies, to assess whether funds were utilized efficiently, and, to identify lessons and good practices as key inputs to strengthen development of the CP4.
