United Nations Population Fund UNFPA South Sudan: Flaws in its Performance Measurement Framework PMF

In this episode 3, Part 1, Dr. Wand critiques a United Nations Population Fund UNFPA www.unfpa.org Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) for a $37 Million project in South Sudan entitled Human Resources for Sexual Reproductive Health Rights and Gender-Based Violence in South Sudan. He concludes that the PMF is flawed and that the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA cannot make the claim that its project services have achieved its project outcomes. He also describes the services that the project delivers and invites listeners to request a copy of the PMF and his critique. Finally, he invites a United Nations Population Fund UNFPA representative to attend Part 2 of the episode to respond to his critique and provide solutions as to how to improve the evaluation of the project. An evaluation expert will also be attending Part 2 of the episode to provide comments on the UNFPA PMF.
