Evaluation of WHO contribution in Somalia 2020–2025: Web annexes

Overview

Strengthening health systems in fragile and conflict-affected settings such as Somalia, characterized by protracted crises, recurrent emergencies and climate-related shocks, requires coordinated, evidence-informed strategies and sustained international support. This document presents the web annexes to an independent evaluation of the World Health Organization’s contribution in Somalia from 2020 to 2025, providing detailed methodological, analytical and contextual information underpinning the assessment.

The publication compiles comprehensive supporting materials, including the terms of reference, evaluation framework, reconstructed theory of change, evaluation matrix, data collection instruments and stakeholder analysis. It outlines the evaluation’s scope and questions across key programmatic areas such as universal health coverage, health emergencies, governance, polio eradication and outbreak response, and describes the theory-based, participatory and mixed-methods approach used to assess WHO’s contributions across its three organizational levels. The annexes also present contextual and empirical evidence from document review, interviews, surveys and case studies. Intended for evaluators, policymakers and technical partners, the document enhances transparency, supports validation and interpretation of findings, and facilitates replication and use of the evaluation approach for accountability, learning and future strategic planning.
