What really makes an evaluation "country-led'?
Roundtable | Online
About the Event
Join this participatory session open to ALL with UNEG and GEI to develop a definition of “country-led evaluation”!
Agenda 2030 highlights that review processes are to be “rigorous and based on evidence informed by country-led evaluations ….” In 2022, UNEG published a report on UN contributions to NECD, which recommends that UN agencies support country-led evaluations..
The Turin Agenda, the outcome document of the NEC Conference 2022, emphasizes that national evaluation systems need to “be led by national governments, respecting the principle of national ownership over the development process.”
What really makes an evaluation “country-led”? Together, can we come up with a definition or criteria?
