UNFPA Independent Evaluation Office

Evaluations at UNFPA assess organization-wide issues (centralized evaluations) and programmes at country and regional level (decentralized evaluations). This evaluative evidence strengthens accountability, evidence-based decision making and learning at UNFPA to accelerate implementation of the International Conference on Population and Development, during the United Nations Secretary-General’s Decade of Action.

The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) prioritizes enhancing the use of evaluations; intensifying coherence with other United Nations entities; and strengthening national evaluation capacities through multi-stakeholder partnerships, including with young and emerging evaluators. To propel the global evaluation community toward the achievement of SDGs by 2030, the IEO co-leads the Decade of EVALUATION for Action, also known as the Eval4Action campaign.
