Overview

The purpose of the baseline is to provide an independent assessment of the current state of the households of rights holders who will be included in the revised lists under the UNICEF--implemented cash programming (SSP and Cash Plus) in Yemen, before the SSP and new iteration of Cash Plus begin. The baseline will particularly focus on adaptive, shock-responsive social protection, identify baseline values for key indicators related to that programming, and provide an initial benchmark to evaluate the impacts of UNICEF’s cash programs as they change and adapt to the Yemeni context. The learning from the baseline assessment will enable UNICEF to assess the evaluability of its cash transfer programs and propose an evaluation strategy rooted in realistic targets for cash programming indicators. It will also benefit UNICEF and other UN agencies, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MoSAL), the World Bank, and other partners and donors, for future program planning, coordination, and resource advocacy and allocation.

The overall goal of this assignment is to design, prepare and conduct relevant activities for a combined process and impact evaluation of the cash programs managed by UNICEF in Yemen, with a focus on adaptive, shock- responsive social protection.
