Events are being organized by Governments, Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs), Civil Society Organizations, Universities, UN agencies and multilateral banks. Hundreds and hundreds of people, from young evaluators to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon; from representatives of emerging VOPEs to the Indian Minister of Planning, Egyptian Minister of Social Solidarity and the New Zealand Minister of Finance, are joining this truly global movement.
