| Impact Analysis |
The CPC has contributed considerably to the policy / legislative framework for Children in Need of Special Protection. One newly developed law was submitted to the Council of Ministers, which has been awaiting adoption by the Council of Ministers since 2001. At the field level, awareness raising campaigns against trafficking and sexual exploitation together with a whole range of activities (police training, phone hotline, database of cases, etc.) have led to an increased awareness in cities and rural areas on the issue and has resulted in an increase of the number of reports and arrests of abusers. |

Ownership/Partnership |
Evaluation |
According to the external evaluation of supported mine action projects commissioned in 200045, UNICEF has been actively supporting, influencing and funding a comprehensive package of interventions, some of which were found to be highly effective. The partnership with relevant agencies worked well, with UNICEF having a major influence. It was found that UNICEF sought an active involvement with implementing partners during project conceptualization and design as well as during implementation. |

Evaluation |
The major effort on mainstreaming of interventions or experience which would impact on child survival has been through work on national policy and guidelines (including the use of pilot studies or test cases) and at province level, through support to public sector service planning and implementation. |

| Other Remarks |
This evaluation concludes that, where capacities exist, UNICEF should find an exit strategy and identify new protection issues, trying to replicate the model. For example, a similar database could be used to report on other accidents, particularly those involving children, which are slowly but surely increasing. |
