IFAD’s Independent Office of Evaluation (IOE) celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2013. The occasion was observed by the Executive Board at its April 2013 meeting.
A booklet was published to mark the adoption in 2003 of IFAD’s first Evaluation Policy, which led to the establishment of IFAD’s independent evaluation function with direct reporting lines to the Executive Board. The booklet included an overview of IOE activities through the years, an account of lessons learned from evaluations and observations from internal and external partners. Various activities will take place during the year focusing on the impact of IOE’s evaluations, studies and reports.
The evaluations produced by IOE enable IFAD to be transparent in recognizing achievements and shortcomings. They also contribute to accountability and learning, and help managers to maximize IFAD’s effectiveness as a development agency.
