Responsibilities & Context:
∎ The evidence activity in this context is essential to reflect back and learn from the joint programming how the program was grounded creating synergy and adding value through the joint initiative. The rationale for conducting this evaluation is to learn how the meaningful participation of OPDs, particularly women’s rights organizations, in decision-making processes was advanced related to disability-inclusive SDGs. This learning is necessary because current policy frameworks and programs may not fully align with CRPD mandates, and key gaps—especially regarding the discrimination against women and girls with disabilities—persist. The results of the evaluation will inform policy reforms and program design to enhance compliance with international standards and strengthen accountability mechanisms. Given that the programme is at a critical stage of implementation, now is the opportune time to conduct this evaluation to learn to what extent joint initiative contributed to achieve the stated goals and addressed challenges in achieving the results for beneficiaries.
∎ Relevance: Evaluate the relevance of the JP intervention in the context of Bangladesh, with a focus on which elements contributed to the Government efforts to advance the CRPD commitments.
∎ Effectiveness: Examine the change that occurred in the essential building blocks for CRPD implementation due to the JP interventions, identifying specific factors that contributed to achieving these changes and opportunities that were pivotal in facilitating change in the country?
∎ Effectiveness: Evaluate the contribution of the JP to promoting disability inclusion within the national development/ humanitarian frameworks of Bangladesh?
∎ Efficiency: Analyse the multi-partner approach of the JP to achieve the change by determining the level of equity and equality in partner engagement and contribution.
∎ Equity: Evaluate the incorporation of gender equality, participation of organizations of persons with disabilities, and the promotion of marginalized groups in the JP.
∎ Coherence: Assess the contribution of the JP to UNPRPD objectives and the One-UN approach.
∎ Sustainability: Identify key opportunities to expand the JP scope or scale to sustain the policy and/or system level changes initiated by the JP?
