Evaluation of the Governance Multi-Year Framework

The evaluation will be conducted during the months of July to August with a view to assess the impact of UNDP Governance Multi-Year Framework towards improved governance processes and outcomes and provide strategic direction and inputs to the formulation of the new Governance Multi-Year Framework (2025-2028). Specifically, the evaluation will assess:

a.      The relevance and strategic positioning of UNDP support to Bhutan on strengthening Governance.

b.      The frameworks and strategies that UNDP has devised for its support on Governance, including partnership and programmatic strategies, and whether they are well conceived for achieving planned objectives.

c.       The progress made towards achieving Governance outcome through specific projects and advisory services and including contributing factors and constraints.

d.      The progress to date under the MYF and what can be derived in terms of lessons learned for future UNDP Governance support to the country.

The evaluation will consider pertinent outputs focused on Governance, as stated in the CPD. The specific MYF outputs to be assessed include:

1.      National and local government capacity to integrate, monitor and report on the SDGs and other international agreements is improved.

2.      The enabling environment for civil society to advance opportunities for, and increase resilience of, targeted vulnerable groups is improved.

3.      Parliament and justice sector capacities and approaches are strengthened with increased inclusion, transparency and accountability.
