Evaluation
The Office of Evaluation (OE) is responsible for evaluating IFAD’s operations and policies. In April 2003, the Executive Board approved IFAD’s new Evaluation
Policy which led to OE’s new independent status: OE now reports directly to the Executive Board.
OE
evaluates IFADs projects and programmes to assess what works
and what doesnt and to determine how far IFADs policies
and strategies are successful in tackling poverty alleviation in rural
areas. In identifying key insights and recommendations drawn from evaluation
findings, OE is also concerned, in accordance with IFADs disclosure
policy, with communicating and sharing IFADs knowledge
and experience of rural and agricultural development with a wider
audience. OE's evaluation is based on a coherent set of evaluation
methodologies.
The role of the Executive
Board with regard to the Office of Evaluation is to:
- oversee IFADs evaluation work and assess the overall
quality and impact of IFADs programmes and projects as
documented in evaluation reports
- approve OE's annual work programme and budget
- approve policies aimed at enhancing the independence and effectiveness
of the evalulation function at IFAD
- receive directly from OE all evaluation reports, including
the annual report on the results and impact of IFAD operations
- endorse the appointment, removal or renewal of service of
the OE Director
Evaluation Committee
The Evaluation Committee is a sub-committee of the Executive Board which performs in-depth reviews of selected evaluation issues, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the Executive Board. Meeting at least four times a year, the Evaluation Committee reviews OE’s strategies and methodologies, discusses selected evaluation reports and OE’s annual work programme and budget. It also makes suggestions for including evaluations of particular interest to the Committee in OE’s annual work programme. From time to time, the Evaluation Committee may request the chairperson of the Executive Board to include certain evaluation issues on the Board's agenda.
The committee’s current composition is as follows: Belgium, Germany, India, Mali, Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden, Switzerland and Indonesia in the Chair until the end of the mandate of the current Committee (April 2009).
