The Evaluation Committee which is also a sub-committee of the Executive Board came about from a proposal by the United States, during the Thirty-Second Session of the Executive Board in December 1987, to establish such a committee within the Board. The purpose of the Committee was foreseen as studying and reporting on the evaluation activities of the Fund aimed at drawing, from completed projects, lessons which may be relevant to the improvement of the design, implementation or evaluation of future projects. As with the Audit Committee, its membership distribution was revised at the Sixty-First Session of the Executive Board, again to fall in line with the new membership distribution of the Executive Board. It is also now composed of nine Members from the 36 Members on the Executive Board at the time; four Members from List A, two Members from List B and three Members from List C. The Chairmanship of the Evaluation Committee rests permanently between Lists B and C. As with the Audit Committee, the Evaluation Committee Members are elected by the Executive Board itself for a three-year term of office. The Evaluation Committee meets formally three times a year; the first time in conjunction with IFAD's Governing Council session, and then just before the September and December Board sessions. The committee may also hold informal meetings if and when required.
