1 Terms of Reference Projects Outputs Evaluation Strengthening Participatory and Accountable Governance and Protection of Human Rights. Empowering Civil Society in A. BACKGROUND UNDP s corporate policy is to evaluate its development cooperation with the host government on a regular basis in order to assess whether and how UNDP-funded interventions contribute to the achievement of agreed outputs, i.e. results and outputs of the projects have been achieved and positive impact is realized. Under the results-based management (RBM) framework - UNDP s core management philosophy- there has been a shift from traditional project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to results-oriented M&E, in particular output monitoring and evaluation that cover a set of related projects, programmes and partnership strategies intended to achieve a higher level output. An output evaluation assesses how and why an output is or is not being achieved in a given country context and the role UNDP has played. It is also intended to clarify underlying factors affecting the development situation, identify unintended consequences (positive and negative), generate lessons learned and recommend actions to improve performance in future programming and partnership development. Output to be evaluated - In the UNDAF strategic Framework ( ) where number of priority areas and strategic results have been identified one of them is Priority area and strategic result: Improved Governance, including the protection of human rights; The i State has more efficient, accountable and participatory governance at national and sub-national levels. And The i state has a more inclusive and participatory political process reflecting improved national dialogue. Priority 1: Improved governance, including protection of human rights. It will take stock of UNDP s efforts in achieving the development output so far and propose measures in order to increase the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of UNDP cooperation in the output areas. - In the UNDAF strategic Framework was Improved Governance, including protection of human rights, and UNDP Strategic Plan ( ). Democratic governance. Strengthening accountable and responsive governing institutions;
2 Grounding democratic governance in international principles and fostering inclusive participation. Priority A: Building Capacity and Legitimacy of Institutions and Civil Society and Enhanced capacity of Parliament to efficiently assume its oversight and legislative role through a strengthened Secretariat, Presidency Council and trained new MPs, particularly women, also Strengthened capacity development resources for local CSOs and NGOs institutionalized within the NGO Directorate, Enhanced ability of i citizens and civil society to engage in the legislative process. A results framework for the selected output for evaluation is summarized in Table 1 below. Brief national context related to the Country Programme output UNDP has continued, under this programme, to promote and institutionalize the promotion and protection of a Human Rights Culture in. The acknowledgement and the recognition of the National Elections in April 2014 resulted in the formation of a new Government and a new Parliament which provided a good opportunity to support the reform agenda through UNDP programmes and projects. During the year 2014, a strategic partnership was established with state and non-state actors to strengthen their contribution to public policy as well as their effective engagement to advance participatory and accountable Governance. The project, namely in the Human Rights component, moved beyond training activities towards a more institutionalized approach ensuring sustainability of the results achieved and ensuring capacity development of partners to shoulder and continue with those activities in the future. This is best illustrated in the support to the establishment of the Human Rights Civil Society Advisory Board in. This Board works very closely with the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee. It reviewed the organizational structure of the Independent Board of Human Rights in KR-I through the technical advisory support to the revision of the Law 4/2010. Another major result of this project has paved the way to an additional two years support to the NOGs Directorate within ComSec where support will be expanded to NGOs Directorate and Civil Society organizations to assist the CSOs involvement in the legislative and oversight process in the Parliament. With regard to the support to the oversight bodies under this project it worth mentioning that tangible progress related to enhancing the capacity of Supreme Board of Audit at both federal and regional level has been made. Similarly, support has been leveraged to the CSOs in connection with the work of the Integrity Commission. Simultaneously, UNDP has developed an innovative grant model to support i CSOs (Civil Society organizations) with a two-fold approach combining grants and capacity development. The participatory and consultative approach to establishing this grant
3 mechanism is a ground- breaking innovation for that has been appreciated by i counterparts as the first of its kind. A total of 100 local CSOs has been engaged in the grant application process either as lead applicants or members of a CSO consortium. After a thorough and transparent selection process, 8 CSO consortia (with a total membership of 31 CSOs) has been selected to implement projects in three thematic areas (i) promotion of adequate service delivery, (ii) anti-corruption, (iii) human and civil rights. The combination of grants and capacity development that is benefiting 31 local CSOs has allowed them to effectively engage in citizen-led oversight mechanisms and taking actions to hold the government to account. At the same time, the CSOs have benefited from a comprehensive accompaniment mechanism that is addressing demand-based capacity issues. As a result, CSOs have gained credibility and professionalism and public authorities are increasingly accepting them as partners for positive change in. The project has developed trust-based partnerships with the CSO parliamentary Committee, the NGO Directorate, equivalent authorities at Kurdistan Regional level and the CSO community at large. The Project Objective and key expected results: The project is supporting CSOs to effectively monitor the Government of s compliance with due process and transparency and enhance CSO capacities for advocacy. UNDP will build the capacity of chosen CSOs to hold the Government accountable in the areas of promotion of adequate service delivery, anti-corruption, and human and civil rights. Through encouraging CSOs to form consortia, the project is transferring know-how whilst working on concrete issues. The Project is also contributing to opening up permanent and sustainable channels between CSOs and Government to interface and advocate for the voices of civil society to be heard and taken into account in relation to public policymaking. The partnership with UNOPS builds on existing strong relationships with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the Kurdistan Parliament and Kurdistan civil society.

The evaluation should take into consideration the project duration, existing resources and political environmental constraints; The results of the outputs evaluation will be used to guide future programming. In this regard the evaluation will:. 1. Identify strengths and weaknesses in the current Programme/Projects in respect of the stated output. 2. Propose better ways of coordinating donor interventions in the sector 3. Identify priority areas of focus for future programming C. SCOPE OF THE EVALUATION Geographic Focus The evaluation should cover the regional and governorate dimensions of the country. Output analysis Are the UNDP outputs still relevant to the output?
7 Has sufficient progress been made in relation to the UNDP outputs? What are the factors (positive and negative) that affect the accomplishment of the outputs? Assess whether and how human development and human security concerns have been considered in the national development planning. Assess UNDP s ability to advocate best practices and desired goals, including its role and participation in national debate and ability to influence national policies on promoting recovery and development. Output-output link Whether UNDP s outputs or other interventions can be credibly linked to the achievement of the output (including the key outputs, projects and assistance soft and hard that contributed to the output); What are the key contributions that UNDP has made/is making to the output (e.g. piloting new technologies, developing pricing schemes, drafting energy efficiency standards)? What has been the role of UNDP soft-assistance activities in helping achieve the output? With the current planned interventions in partnership with other actors and stakeholders, will UNDP be able to achieve the output within the set timeframe and inputs or whether additional resources are required and new or changed interventions are needed? Whether UNDP s partnership strategy has been appropriate and effective. Has UNDP been able to bring together various partners across social, ethnic and sectoral lines to address human development and human security concerns in a holistic manner?
