How can you make a difference?

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The UNICEF Evaluation Office (EO), as one of the core evidence functions, aims to help UNICEF to improve its performance and results, by supporting organizational learning and accountability. Working through the network of regional evaluation teams, the UNICEF EO supports the organization’s 135+ country offices in finding evidence-based solutions for the world’s most vulnerable children.

The EO conducts strategic global, institutional effectiveness, humanitarian, and impact evaluations. It assures the quality and use of UNICEF evaluations by establishing norms, standards, guidelines as well as knowledge sharing and networking. The UNICEF Evaluation of Impact Strategy and Action Framework 2022–2025 sets the institutional priorities and vision for a harmonized and strategic approach to the generation and use of rigorous impact evaluations to inform UNICEF programs.

This vision is reinforced in the draft Strategic Plan for 2026 – 2029, where impact level targets are prioritized, requiring a strong impact evaluation function to demonstrate achievement of targets, particularly with shrinking fiscal space. The Impact Catalyst Fund (ICF) is a flagship initiative to support these efforts. The first ICF call builds on a partnership with the Global Program to End Child Marriage (GPECM) focused on the thematic area of child marriage and social norms.

A further ICF is being launched in 2026 focused on “Preventing Violence in, Through and Around Schools” in partnership with the Safe to Learn Initiative. The EO also partners with the global program division of UNICEF to undertake demand driven evaluations, not in the costed plan for global evaluations. A set of demand driven impact evaluations have been initiated with the UNICEF Adolescent Girls Hub, focused on increasing girls’ agency, health and wellbeing under the Power4

Girls initiative.
