The evaluation of the UNODC’s Doha Programme (UDP) was focused on assessing its effectiveness in enhancing the rule of law and promoting a culture of lawfulness across Member States. This comprehensive evaluation aimed to measure the program’s success in achieving its six specific objectives, which include strengthening Member States’ capacities in areas such as countering transnational organized crime, combating corruption and terrorism, rehabilitating and reintegrating prisoners, reducing youth crime, and utilizing education for crime prevention. The evaluation utilized a mixed-method, triangulated approach including document analysis, interviews with 163 (89 M, 74 F) key stakeholders, an online survey with 162 responses (32.4% Response rate), virtualfield missions, focus group discussions, event and webinar observations and other participatory techniques. Note as all planned field missions were cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic, they were conducted ‘virtually’ with data collection tools adapted to the virtual collection. The evaluation team made every possible effort to engage the full array of stakeholders, including staff members, actual and potential partners, beneficiaries, government officials, research institutions and nongovernmental organizations representatives, on these virtual missions.
