Definition of Evaluation
Evaluation is a systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or completed project, programme or policy, its design, implementation and results. The aim is to determine the relevance and fulfilment of objectives, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability - as set out in the Evaluation Policy.
As a member of the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), IEU contributes to professionalizing the evaluation function and uses evaluation best practices in line with the 2005 United Nations Evaluation Group's (UNEG) Norms and Standards, as set out in the Evaluation Policy and the Evaluation Handbook.
