The study found that the monitoring and evaluation frameworks used in CPS by UNHCR was the best interest determination tool (BID) which was the most utilized. The study further revealed that the tools functioned as they were supposed to a large extent. The study concluded that that The Best Interest Determinations tool was the dominant framework for M&E used at the UNHCR and allied agencies, followed by the rapids assessment child protection tool kit and finally the accountability’s framework. Further, the study concluded that UNHCR and its agencies faced challenges including under staffing, difficulties in integrating the UNHCR CPS with the national framework, lack of identified roles and responsibilities in child protection systems, and emergency unpreparedness. The study recommended that there should be a follow up to ensure the situation of the child was monitored continuously, and a full BID completed within two years of identification to establish durable solutions as outlined in the BID framework.en_US
