Azerbaijan’s third country programme (CP) was evaluated between August-September 2014 with the view of providing an independent assessment of the performance of UNFPA from 2011-2014. The evaluation served three main purposes: i) To demonstrate accountability to stakeholders on performance in achieving development results and on invested resources; ii) To support evidence-based decision-making; and iii) To contribute important lessons learned to the existing knowledge base on how to accelerate implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD).
