Are we advancing National Evaluation Capacities for the SDGs? Lessons from the United Nations Evaluation Group
小组座谈
About the Event
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.
