Are we advancing National Evaluation Capacities for the SDGs? Lessons from the United Nations Evaluation Group
Painel de Discussão
Sobre o evento
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes the critical role of evaluation. In 2014, the UN General Assembly also passed a resolution on “Building capacity for the evaluation of development activities at the country level”. In 2021, the UN Evaluation Group (UNEG) National Evaluation Capacity Development (NECD) Working Group prepared a report on NECD by United Nations agencies since the adoption of the resolution. Participants will learn about the key findings and recommendations from this report and join a discussion on how development partners can strengthen NECD, not only through direct support, but also by changing the way they carry out their own evaluations.
