UNICEF Belize’s Programme Cooperation current cycle covers the period 2022-2026, and as such, entering its third year. The Belize Country Office (BCO) has opted to implement an internal Strategic Moment of Reflection (SMR) and external Mid-Term Review (MTR) to refine and sharpen the focus of the country programme and make adjustments as necessary, to accelerate the achievement of the results for children. Its primary purpose is to review the progress achieved to date towards the expected results of the country programme as outlined in the CPD and the Programme Strategy Notes; to take stock of changes in the programming context, and to review the performance of the country office in implementing programme strategies and principles underlying the country programme. The SMR and MTR will serve as a key opportunity to document evidence of “what works” in achieving and sustaining results, with emphasis on the most disadvantaged and excluded children, and to identify areas that can be strengthened or revised.
The BCO SMR and MTR will be used as an opportunity to address the following internal and external changes at global, regional, sub-regional and national levels:
The review process will be led in a participatory manner, including national/subnational government, civil society, private sector, IFIs, UN and other partners to agree on any adjustments that may be required to the country programme for the remaining period of the programme cycle. The SMR and MTR are therefore an opportunity to assess the results achieved in the first half of the Country Programme, lessons learned, and propose programme adjustments, relating in particular to the outputs, strategies, resource allocation and office structure. The conclusions of the MTR, including the lessons learned, will be incorporated into the planning of the remaining period of the Country Programme and inform the planning of the next cycle.
