Evaluation Committee

The Evaluation Committee is a sub-committee of the Executive Board which performs in-depth reviews of selected evaluation issues and the Independent Office of Evaluation’s (IOE) strategies and methodologies. It discusses selected evaluation reports and it also makes suggestions for including evaluations of particular interest to the Committee in the IOE annual work programme.

Its membership distribution falls in line with the membership distribution of the Executive Board. It is composed of nine members from the 36 members on the Executive Board; 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. The Evaluation Committee members are elected by the Executive Board itself for a three-year term of office. The Committee meets formally four times a year; before each of the (three) sessions of the Executive Board.¹ Another meeting is held in October with the specific objective of discussing the annual OE work programme and budget. The Committee may also hold informal meetings if and when required.
