👏 Evaluation capacity in action in Cambodia
On 22 October, the Policy and Program Evaluation Symposium 2026 brought together policymakers, practitioners, academics and emerging evaluators to strengthen the connection between evaluation and Cambodia’s development priorities.
Building on 3 cohorts of the Certificate Course on Policy and Program Evaluation, with 95 participants from 12 ministries and institutions, it’s encouraging to see learning being translated into practice.
Congratulations to the partners and participants helping strengthen a culture of evaluation, learning and evidence use in Cambodia.

What happens when evaluation leads to action?
Michael Craft shares how an evaluation of Safe Spaces in Costa Rica helped improve programming for children, informed future interventions, and supported national authorities in taking ownership of the programme.

✨ On the International Day of Care and Support, we highlight the @UNICEFRD #evaluation.

A recent @UNICEFEval shows strong progress in policy development, data systems, and service quality for early childhood development (ECD) and education. These are foundational wins that strengthen national systems and improve learning and wellbeing outcomes.

But the #evaluation also reminds us that significant gaps persist—especially in coverage, coordination, and equity, leaving too many children and families without the support they deserve.

🔑 Key recommendations moving forward:
- Revitalize home‑based early childhood and family support services to expand their reach for young children and caregivers.
- Strengthen cross‑institutional collaboration to ensure more coherent ECD action.
-Improve data interoperability so decisions are driven by real-time, unified information.
-Advocate for balanced, comprehensive early childhood modalities to ensure equitable access for all communities.

What makes an evaluation genuinely influential, rather than simply a source of findings?
