Syntheses of UNESCO Evaluations

2023 Synthesis of UNESCO Evaluations

Syntheses from previous years

The Evaluation Office is responsible for establishing an effective evaluation system throughout UNESCO to inform evidence-based policies and programmes and for greater accountability and organizational learning. A network of Evaluation Focal Points strengthens the decentralized evaluation system across the Organization.

Check out our UNESCO Evaluation Policy, UNESCO Evaluation Manual and the UN Evaluation Group (UNEG) Guidance Documents.

A Professional Peer Review of the evaluation function of UNESCO was carried out in autumn 2019 by the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) and the full report is available here.
