The End Term Evaluation (ETE) is a joint GoK and UNDP review that will be conducted in close collaboration with implementing partners both at national and county level, and development partners. The ETE will be assessed against the following seven (7) UNDP Project Quality Criteria, which are aligned to the UNEG evaluation criteria: i) strategic ii) relevant iii) social and environmental standards (SES), iv) management and monitoring v) efficient vi) effective and vii) sustainability and national ownership. The ETE will cover the project period July 2014 to June 2018 and will cover the 5 national partners (CRA, MoDP, CoG, KSG and IBEC) and 21 county governments. The DRR/CC components are supported mainly by the Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate (MED), the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and the national Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC). Gender mainstreaming work through UN Women is with the State Department of Gender Affairs, the Office of the Controller of Budget, the National Treasury and the County Assemblies Forum.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ETE

The overall objective of the ETE is to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the programme, including the extent to which cross cutting issues (gender, climate change, SDGs) have been mainstreamed. The evaluation will also assess the mechanisms put in place to enhance coordination and harmonization between UNDP, Implementing Partners, and the National and County Governments.
