Universalia was contracted to carry out the evaluation of UNIFEM’s partnerships with regional organizations. This is a corporate evaluation and is undertaken as part of the 2008 evaluation plan of the Evaluation Unit. Given the recent growth in partnerships with regional organizations, this evaluation responds to the need of understanding that UNIFEM needs to more closely analyze the effectiveness, sustainability and relevance of these partnerships. The objectives of this evaluation are to assess the extent to which UNIFEM’s strategies for partnering with regional organizations are actually contributing to institutional change, and to identify opportunities, challenges, good practices and lessons learned that will be useful for strengthening, enhancing and expanding UNIFEM’s partnerships with regional organization.
