Independent Review of UNDP Evaluation Policy

This is the first independent review of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Evaluation Policy that was requested by the UNDP Executive Board in decision 2006/20, which approved the policy in 2006. The review assesses the performance of the evaluation function and the extent to which the organisation has responded to the requirements of the policy and identifies lessons and recommended areas for the attention of the Executive Board, UNDP senior management and the Evaluation Office. The team of consultants conducted the review, which involved interviews of UNDP staff and partners during two visits to New York headquarters and select country visits.
