EVALUATION OF UNHCR-LED INITIATIVES TO END STATELESSNESS – FINAL REPORT – VOLUME I 61. Twenty-three percent of expenditures corresponded to 10 objectives not mapped to the GAP as shown in Figure 5. Many of these objectives not directly linked to the GAP appear to be more programmatically or operationally focused, though the evaluation team views strengthening of protection advice and support, coordination and partnerships, and promotion of peaceful co-existence with local communities as potentially cross-cutting objectives that can support all GAP actions. Figure 5 – Expenditures for objectives not linked to GAP actions (USD) 2012-2019 $0 $5 $10 Operations management, coordination and support strengthened and optimized USD Millions $20 $25 $23.09 Logistics and supply optimized to serve operational needs $7.88 Shelter and infrastructure established, improved and maintained $4.23 Community mobilization strengthened and expanded $5.46 Population has sufficient basic and domestic items $6.04 Peaceful co-existence with local communities promoted $4.84 Coordination and partnerships strengthened $4.59 Protection advice and support strengthened $3.14 Services for persons with specific needs strengthened $3.21 Population has optimal access to education $15 $2.66 Total 2012-2019 62. Statelessness budget lines included 183 separate outputs found in the UNHCR RBM system. To better understand the logical framework, the correlation between these outputs and the top 20 outcomes was mapped. The outputs associated with each of the top 20 objectives and related total expenditures from 2012-2019 are detailed in Annex 9. Statelessness budget allocations and prioritization 63. Overall, Pillar 1-Refugees consistently received a higher percentage of funding against budget requests than other pillars with an average of 61 percent funded from 2012 to 2019. However, Pillar 2Statelessness received 55 percent of its overall budget requests during this timeframe, versus Pillar 4IDPs (50 percent) and Pillar 3-Returnees (32 percent). 64. Prioritization of Pillar 2 budget requests has varied across regions. From 2012 to 2019 Africa received 47 percent of the funding requested, the Americas 51 percent, Asia and the Pacific 57 percent, Europe 71 percent and MENA 64 percent. These overall figures mask sub-regional disparities. For example, in Africa, Southern Africa only received 41 percent of its statelessness budget requests from 2012-2019, compared with East Africa (51 percent) and West and Central Africa (52 percent). Compared to overall funding levels, Pillar 2 received a similar percentage of requested funding in most sub-regions with the exception of Southern Africa (9 percent less) and North America and the Caribbean (6 percent less). 65. Among the GAP related objectives, work on ensuring access to and quality of status determination procedures received the highest percentage of budget requests, with 78 percent of requests funded (highly concentrated in the Europe region with 71 percent of expenditures on this objective). Work to improve public attitudes towards persons of concern received 64 percent of funding requested and strengthening of law and policy received 63 percent. The least prioritized objectives were increased level of individual documentation (43 percent), strengthening of civil registration and civil status documentation (46 percent), and improving identification of statelessness (50 percent). 66. At the same time, some of the more operationally focused objectives not directly linked to the GAP received a much higher percentage of requested funding. These include strengthening and optimizing operations management, coordination and support (71 percent) and optimizing logistics and supply to serve operational needs (70 percent). 18 UNHCR / May, 2021
