Evaluation of Resident Coordinator system support to enabling coherent United Nations policy advice_IED-23-019
Overview
1. The overall objective of the 2023 Resident Coordinator system evaluation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) was to determine, as systematically and objectively as possible, the extent to which the Resident Coordinator system has led on and enabled coherent United Nations policy advice to enhance host government capacity to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The evaluation assessed the following two outcomes: (a) coherent United Nations policy advice (immediate outcome); and (b) host government capacity to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals is enhanced (intermediate outcome).
2. To ensure conceptual clarity on the evaluation objective and questions, the following definitions were used:
• Policy advice: Support to host government decisions and plans in the form of strategies, frameworks, analyses, draft policies, task forces and/or other contributions.
• Coherence: The extent to which the whole of United Nations support is aligned to country level needs and priorities and is delivered in an integrated, coordinated and complementary fashion across pillars and sectors and consistent with Agenda 2030 goals.
• Capacity included consideration of human and financial resources, expertise and authority, positioning and bandwidth for strategic thought leadership.
3. The evaluation conforms with the United Nations Evaluation Group norms and standards. The general frame of reference for the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) is set out in General Assembly resolutions 48/218 B, 54/244 and 59/272 and in Secretary-General’s bulletin ST/SGB/273. OIOS’ internal oversight mandate includes the departments, offices, funds, and programmes of the United Nations Secretariat. The mandate does not include non-Secretariat United Nations system entities.
