This report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) of the Government Republic of Namibia/UNFPA Sixth Country Programme cycle 2019-2023, (CP6).  The overall purpose is to (i) demonstrate accountability to stakeholders on performance in achieving development results and on invested resources, (ii) support evidence-based decision-making and contribute key lessons learned to the existing knowledge base on how to accelerate the implementation of the International Conference of Population and Development Programme of Action of the 1994 (ICPD PoA). This would provide the UNFPA CO in Namibia, national stakeholders, the UNFPA ESARO, UNFPA HQ as well as a wider audience with an independent assessment of the performance of the UNFPA Namibia 6th CP 2019-2023.  This report covers results from 2019 to 2022 in two thematic areas -adolescents and youth development, and gender equality and women’s empowerment. The initial CP6 budget was $7.5 million ($3.2m from regular resources and $4.3m m other resources).
