Evaluability Assessment and Formative Evaluation of the Explosive

Although the actual scale and scope of the EO contamination in Syria are still unknown as no comprehensive countrywide survey has taken place, EO affects access to agricultural fields and local markets for livelihood needs, as well as access to schools and other public buildings and hospitals, as well as private residences. For the children of Syria, the impact of EO on their ability to play safely in their communities is especially severe. An additional risk is to the movement of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Syria through unsafe roads, areas and homes that have not yet been cleared of mines or EO, as well as communities returning to former homes.
It is estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 EO have failed to detonate in contaminated areas and are placing communities in Syria at risk[4] but to date, the actual scale and scope of the explosive contamination in Syria is still unknown as no comprehensive countrywide survey has taken place[5].
United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS)-coordinated casualty reports recorded 12,345 EO casualties in Syria between 2013 and 2020, resulting in 4,389 deaths and 7,956 injuries.[6]
UNICEF Syria EORE programme has focused on promoting safe behaviour through providing children with skills and knowledge to protect themselves from risks associated with the dangers of explosive ordnance through various modalities including: 1) community-based risk education, 2) school-based risk education, and 3) communication (including mass media).
UNICEF Syria EORE programme is currently operating in all 14 governorates through 17 local partners including Ministries, INGOs, NGOs and Syrian Arab and Palestinian Red Crescent who, in turn, work through trainers, facilitators and field coordinators.
There is no theory of change for the EORE programme as it is one component of the UNICEF Syria Child Protection programme. The programme logic is that if people receive risk education, and they understand what is communicated, then they will be more knowledgeable about risks and if they use their improved knowledge to adopt safe behaviour, then there will be a reduction of casualties. In terms of measuring results, the EORE programme target in 2023 is for 1,460,000 children to be reached with landmine or other explosive weapons prevention and/or survivor assistance interventions[7], which only measures reach rather than measuring knowledge or behaviour change.
