The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) employs the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) to conduct comprehensive evaluations of its country programs, known as Independent Country Programme Evaluations (ICPEs). These evaluations serve as a vital tool in capturing and showcasing evaluative evidence of UNDP's contributions to development outcomes at the country level. Moreover, they aim to assess the effectiveness of UNDP's strategy in fostering and leveraging national efforts to achieve development results.

In 2017, the IEO conducted the ICPE for Namibia, which was particularly significant as it marked the conclusion of the UNDP Namibia country program in 2018. The findings from this evaluation are expected to provide valuable input into the development of the new country program, ensuring that UNDP continues to align its efforts with Namibia's development priorities and objectives.

The ICPE for Namibia followed a rigorous and comprehensive methodology, encompassing a wide range of stakeholders and perspectives. It involved extensive fieldwork, data collection, and analysis, as well as stakeholder consultations and workshops. The evaluation sought to assess the impact of UNDP's interventions on various development sectors, including poverty reduction, education, health, governance, and climate change adaptation.

One of the key findings of the ICPE for Namibia was the positive impact of UNDP's interventions in promoting sustainable development and poverty reduction. The program has implemented various initiatives, such as the Integrated Rural Development Programme, which aims to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty in rural areas. UNDP has also supported the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, promoting economic growth and job creation.

In addition, the ICPE for Namibia highlighted the importance of UNDP's collaboration with national partners and stakeholders in achieving development results. The program has worked closely with the government, civil society organizations, and other development partners to develop and implement policies and programs that address Namibia's development challenges. This collaborative approach has contributed to the sustainability and scalability of UNDP's interventions.

However, the evaluation also identified areas for improvement in UNDP's approach to development in Namibia. For instance, there was a need for greater emphasis on monitoring and evaluation, to ensure that the program's interventions are effective and efficient in achieving their intended outcomes. Additionally, there was a need for improved coordination and communication between UNDP and its national partners, to ensure that resources and efforts are aligned and maximized.

Overall, the ICPE for Namibia provides valuable insights into UNDP's contributions to development in Namibia and highlights areas for improvement. The findings will be used to inform the development of the new country program, ensuring that UNDP continues to play a critical role in promoting sustainable development and poverty reduction in the country.
