The Global Programme to End Child Marriage is jointly managed and implemented by UNICEF and UNFPA. The elimination of child marriage and other harmful practices is a Sustainable Development Goal target 5.3, and also a strategic priority of both organizations. The programme is concluding its phase II and planning to commence phase III.
In 2023, the evaluation offices of UNICEF and UNFPA commissioned an independent joint evaluation of phase II (2020–2023) of the Global Programme. The joint evaluation aims to assess the Global Programme’s contribution at global, regional and country levels to ending child marriage. The evaluation also seeks to identify good practices and lessons learned from the implementation of phase II in order to inform the development of phase III, as well as efforts to end child marriage globally.
