The overall purpose of this Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) is to conduct an independent assessment of relevance, performance and sustainability of UNFPA support provided to Albania within 2017-2021 4th CP. The evaluation has three specific objectives. First, to provide an independent assessment of the progress of the country programme towards the expected outputs and outcomes set forth in the results framework of the country programme. Second, to provide an assessment of the country office’s positioning within the developing community and national partners, in view of its ability to respond to national priority needs while adding value to the country development results. And third, to draw key lessons from the past and current cooperation and provide a set of clear, specific and action-oriented forward-looking strategic recommendations in light of the Agenda 2030 for the next programming cycle.
