Â鶹ÊÓƵ

This is the third annual evaluation report produced under Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Evaluation Policy (2016¨C2021).

Part 1 explains the purpose of evaluation and how it is evolving in line with Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic direction and trends in Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s operating environment. It gives an overview of centralized and decentralized evaluations completed, conducted and  planned  in the period 2018 to 2019 and highlights the various types of evaluation evidence available for supporting Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic priorities.

Part 2 examines the performance of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s evaluation function. It reports major developments in the function in both centralized and decentralized evaluations and assesses the key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring progress against the outcomes identified in the Evaluation Policy (2016¨C2021) in the areas of evaluation coverage, quality and use of evaluation reports, evaluation partnerships and joint evaluations, and financial and human resources for the evaluation function.

Part 3 looks ahead, presenting the outlook for the evaluation function and highlighting areas for attention  in  the  coming  years. Building on the positive assessment of  the evaluation function issued by the Multilateral Organization Performance Assessment  Network (MOPAN) in February 2019, priorities are identified for each of the objectives of the evaluation policy.
