UNICEF publishes Liberia 2020-2024 Country Programme Evaluation, supported by Landell Mills

The Liberia 2020-2024 Country Programme Evaluation was commissioned by the UNICEF Liberia Country Office in 2024, and conducted between August 2024 and February 2025, with the support of an evaluation team provided by Landell Mills and in-country data collection support provided by PERT Consultancy.

Building on prior evaluative exercises, this evaluation came at a critical moment in the conception and implementation of the next phase of the Government of Liberia’s national development strategy – namely, the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).

The evaluation will inform the development of the next iteration of the Country Programme for 2026-2030 which will focus on:

• Supporting Liberia to achieve its 2030 targets for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an acute focus on SDG 1-6 and SDG-16.
• Broadening Liberia’s alignment with global initiatives, such as the African Union’s Agenda 2040 for Children’s Rights, the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children and the UNICEF Gender Action Plan 2018-2021.
• Supplementing the Government of Liberia’s ARREST AAID.

The evaluation covers the period 2020-2024 and focuses on the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the Country Programme; and the extent to which cross-cutting issues such as equity, human rights, disability inclusion, gender equality and child rights were integrated. The evaluation also assesses UNICEF’s strategic positioning among the development community and national partners.
