UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY FOR PALESTINE REFUGEES IN THE NEAR EAST KPI 10: Relevance of interventions to the needs and priorities of partner countries and beneficiaries, and extent to which the organisation works towards results KPI score Satisfactory 2.5 MI 10.1 Interventions assessed as having responded to the needs/priorities of target groups Score MI rating Satisfactory MI score 2.5 MI 10.1 Analysis Source document Although the importance of UNRWA’s interventions to the needs of target groups is underscored in evaluations. Evaluations reveal a mixed picture with respect to the extent that the interventions respond to the real needs and priorities of beneficiaries. Five evaluations provide evidence about the extent that interventions have responded to the needs and priorities of target groups, suggesting that project did not fully respond to immediate or medium-term needs of beneficiaries. The gaps in the relevance of UNRWA’s interventions to the needs and priorities of Palestine Refugees are reported in Four evaluations: • Evaluation of the Office of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East found that UNRWA has work to do to fulfil the needs of the new generation of Palestine refugees, develop refugees’ economically viable skills and improve their capacity-building. • The Evaluation of the E-Health System finds that, particularly in addressing gender issues where the systems could have better addressed the needs of female staff. • The Evaluation of UNRWA’s Engaging Youth Project found that although the project responded to 9, 66, 89, 77, 141 the training interests of the youth involved, the content of the training courses failed to align to the real needs of the market. The project which was intended to enhance youth employability did not respond to what the market needed for the future competitiveness of graduates. • The Evaluation of the Project for Improving Living Conditions of Vulnerable Palestine refugees in Jerash Camp found that the delivery of the project did not include or address the needs of the most vulnerable in the camps. The evaluation of the Gender Initiative finds that the interventions met the needs of women in some areas: • The initiative was found to respond to women’s needs “created and aggravated by the deteriorated socio-economic situation of the Gaza Strip” but was less relevant in addressing women’s needs in terms of increased access to GBV services and to the labour market.
