The mid-term evaluation assesses the progress made in the implementation of the UNFPA Supplies Programme from 2013 to 2017, and covers all 46 focus countries of the programme. The evaluation results are clustered around strengthening the enabling environment for promoting family planning as a priority intervention; addressing demand and improving access to quality reproductive health; addressing gender equality and social inclusion; improving efficiency of procurement; bolstering programme coordination and management and strengthening UNFPA Supplies in humanitarian situations.
The evaluation recommendations were co-authored by the Evaluation Reference Group, based on the independent conclusions of the report. This participatory approach maintained throughout the evaluation process was instrumental in ensuring that the results of the mid-term evaluation will have a meaningful and practical impact on the operation of UNFPA Supplies as it moves towards 2020.
