Purpose. The purpose of this evaluation is to gather strategic and timely evidence on the effectiveness of refugee livelihoods programming from 2014-2018. This evaluation will inform and influence the organizational strategy and practice within UNHCR and external to UNHCR through partners, ultimately, with the aim to improve the economic inclusion of refugees and other people of concern (PoC). The evaluation also serves a dual purpose for learning and accountability within the organization, commissioned by the UNHCR Evaluation Service as a centralized evaluation as per the 2016 Evaluation Policy. To accomplish this objective, Technical Assistance to Non-Governmental Organizations (TANGO) International, selected through a competitive bid, conducted an independent, theory-based evaluation of the global livelihoods portfolio.
