The main objective of the evaluation was to compare the use of the OneCard versus two independent card systems to deliver cash assistance in relation to processes, costs, suitability, beneficiary satisfaction, and cost-efficiency.
As per ToRs, the evaluation was focused on the following areas:
- Technical issues, including PIN distribution, reporting compliance, data management and security
- Programmatic issues, including cost-efficiency, process efficiency, benefits and externalities
- Beneficiary preferences and satisfaction
- Systems to ensure traceability
- Mutual accountability issues
- Benefits, limitations and recommendations on the use of a common platform and one card shared by UNHCR, WFP and LCC
