Towards a Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020 : SURVEY

[Asela Kalugampitiya]

Dear Colleagues,

During the International Year of Evaluation 2015, we celebrate achievements in evaluation and prepare for future needs and opportunities in evaluation to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In parallel with national efforts to implement the SDGs, EvalPartners is working towards development of a Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020. This agenda is engaging input from government, voluntary organisations for professional evaluation (VOPEs), international development organizations, and individual evaluators worldwide – much work has already been carried out. EvalPartners have supported online and face-to-face discussions, and UNDP have supported governments worldwide to strengthen their evaluation capacity through the 18 commitments jointly crafted by Governments at the 2013 NEC Conference in São Paulo, Brazil. Its follow up event, NEC 2015, is to take place in Bangkok, Thailand this coming October 26-30.

UNDP with EvalPartners invite you to participate in the survey below as part of a final online consultation to identify national evaluation capacity priorities to be included the Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020.
