OECD-DAC Network on Development Evaluation

The Development Assistance Committee Network on Development Evaluation contributes to better development results by promoting strong evaluation practices and systems that support learning and hold DAC members to account for the results of their development co-operation and humanitarian assistance.

It is composed by the evaluation units of DAC countries, with observers from the regional development banks, the World Bank, the IMF, the UNDP and the UN Evaluation Group.

The Independent Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) was established by the GEF Council in July 2003. The Office is independent from GEF policy making and its delivery and management of assistance.

The Office undertakes independent evaluations that involve a set of projects and programs implemented by more than one GEF Agency. These evaluations are typically at the strategic level, on focal areas, or on cross-cutting themes. We also undertake institutional evaluations, such as assessing the GEF resource allocation mechanism or GEF governance.

The mission of the Independent Evaluation Department (IEvD) is to support the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) become a knowledge-based organization that continuously improves its operations, drawing lessons from the evaluations to enhance the development effectiveness of its interventions in Member Countries (MCs) and in favor of Muslim communities in non-Member Countries. The IEvD started its journey as the Operations Evaluation Office (OEO) in 1990. It reports directly to the Board of Executive Directors (BED) through the Operations and Development Effectiveness Committee (ODEC).

Evaluation at the IDB Group

The Evaluation function conducts independent evaluations of the EIB Group’s activities.
It assesses the relevance and performance of these activities in relation to their objectives and the evolving operating environment. It also helps the EIB Group draw lessons on how to continuously improve its work, thereby contributing to a culture of learning and evidence-based decision-making.

The Independent Evaluation Department (IEvD) evaluates the performance of the Bank’s completed projects and programmes relative to objectives.

It systematically analyses the results of both individual projects and wider themes defined in the Bank’s policies.

The core objective of evaluation is to contribute to the Bank’s legitimacy, relevance and to superior institutional performance. To achieve its core objective, the Evaluation Department fulfills two primary functions:
