This annual report outlines progress made towards implementing Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s Impact Evaluation Strategy in 2022.
The first two years of the strategy (2019-2021) were a pilot phase, during which period the Office of Evaluation (OEV) assessed the demand for impact evaluation evidence in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and explored different models of delivering them in rapidly evolving contexts.
Following an independent review of the Strategy pilot phase in 2021, impact evaluation was embedded into the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Evaluation Policy 2022 as a third type, alongside centralized and decentralized evaluations. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ also established a standalone Impact Evaluation Unit (IEU) to deliver the Impact Evaluation Strategy, in alignment with the new Policy and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Corporate Evaluation Strategy 2022 (CES).
