actions towards the formalization of the informal economy 2014-18, conducted by the ILO’s Evaluation
Office (EVAL) in 2019.2 The evaluation was undertaken using internationally accepted evaluation
criteria, covering relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability. Data derived
from different methods (desk reviews, synthesis reviews of related project evaluations, interviews, surveys
and field visits) were triangulated to ensure consistency and reliability. The formalization of the informal economy is generally perceived as a framework for action with a longterm
objective. While the efforts undertaken in this regard during the evaluation period are commendable,
the evaluation found that these are just the beginning of a process that requires greater focus on further
developing, adapting, disseminating and implementing actions on formalizing the informal economy.
Papers by Mei Zegers
The evaluation provides concrete inputs to a forthcoming management review of the CP Strategy and to implementing the child protection objectives within the 2014-2017 strategic plan. Furthermore, it informs UNICEF’s positioning and future direction with regard to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG target 16.2 that reads “end abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children”. At the country level, the evaluation informs country-level policy and programme development and response over the coming years.
