Since 2007, UNEG's work programme has been organised under three thematic areas: UN Reform and Evaluation, The Evaluation Function and Professionalising Evaluation.
UNEG's Work Programme April 2009-March 2010 was defined at the UNEG AGM 2009 and continues with these thematic areas and will be implemented by the following UNEG Task Forces.
UN Reform and Evaluation
- Delivering as One Working Group
