Independent Evaluation Office, Global Environment Facility

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.

Independent Evaluation Department, Islamic Development Bank

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).
