96 . MOPAN 2017-18 ASSESSMENTS . UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY FOR PALESTINE REFUGEES IN THE NEAR EAST A number of the reports are ‘achievement-focused’ and do not systematically reflect on progress achieved overtime in relation to intended targets. For example, the Annual Operational Report presents the baseline, the target and the actual results achieved for each year but does not show progress overtime. The Annual Health Reports report results achieved for that year, but do not present targets. Emergency Appeal reports present actual results and targets but not baseline results. Reports present to varying degrees analysis of the factors affecting results. Each of UNRWA’s programmatic areas have specific logframes, and in some cases theories of change 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 31, 36, 37, 40, 44, 59, 60, 69, 76, 79 , 86, 92, 109, 141, 142 for UNRWA’s interventions. UNRWA’s Gender Strategy, for example, is supported by a corresponding results framework aligned to the MTS which is reported on annually. Subsequent to its education reform, UNRWA’s Education Programme incorporates policies and strategies into a systemic approach which is monitored and reported on through multiple levels with universal education indicators within the CMM, applicable to each of the five Field Offices, as well as field-specific baselines and targets. MI 7.2 Evidence confidence High confidence MI 7.3: Results targets set based on a sound evidence base and logic Score Overall MI Rating Satisfactory Overall MI score 3 Element 1: Targets and indicators are adequate to capture causal pathways between interventions and the outcomes that contribute to higher order objectives Element 2: Indicators are relevant to the expected result to enable measurement of the degree of goal achievement 3 2 Element 3: Development of baselines are mandatory for new interventions 3 Element 4: Results targets are regularly reviewed and adjusted when needed 4 MI 7.3 Analysis Source document There is evidence across the different programme areas (health, education) of a well-developed set of indicators supporting agency wide tracking to higher order goals. However, the MTS is not underpinned by an explicit theory of change and the extent to which the interlinkages between targets and indicators for UNRWA’s individual strategic outcomes and the assumptions underpinning them are articulated is not consistent across and between all outcomes. Although output-level indicators are generally relevant, some of the indicators aligned to outcomes are more appropriate as output level indicators. . In the case specifically of protection, Field offices report challenges in reporting against these and the CMM has baselines and targets covering the percentage of UNRWA interventions on protection issues that prompt positive responses from authorities and the degree of alignment with UNRWA protection standards across all aspects of programming. This suggests that the targets and 1, 11, 12, 28, 35, 47, 70, 73, 86 indicators within the CMM provide a basis for seeing how progress at different points/ work streams of the Agency contributes to a positive direction towards the higher order objectives of the Agency. Baselines were established at the beginning of the 2016-2021 MTS for all CMM indicators (with the exception of new ones) in collaboration with all Fields to ensure ownership and common. Results achieved are reviewed with all Fields quarterly/six-monthly and annually with respect to performance against the set targets, and baseline and targets are adjusted with documented justification (e.g. Action plans) after discussion between Fields and HQ.
