Overview
The World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Evaluation Section undertook the evaluation of the WIPO Match covering the period from 2016 to 2020. The purpose of this evaluation was formative and focused on finding learning opportunities and program improvement. More specifically, the evaluation strived to assess the achievement of the database's results against its strategic aims, with a specific focus on its promotion strategy and reaching out to potential target users. A part from the identified general lessons learned and good practices, the evaluation provided recommendations on developing additional value-added services that complement the ones already provided by the platform.
