The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) undertook a programme evaluation of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) subprogramme 1, countering transnational organized crime, and subprogramme 2, a comprehensive and balanced approach to counter the world drug problem (with a focus on illicit drug trafficking issues alone). The evaluation covers the period from 2015 to 2019. The objective of the evaluation was to determine the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the subprogramme in delivering on their mandate.
UNODC was relevant in addressing transnational crime and illicit trafficking as the custodian of applicable conventions, their protocols and other instruments. The combination of its mandates and technical assistance were instrumental to engage with governments in policy discussions and undertake implementation on the ground. However, it did not fully exploit its comparative advantages owing to its programme structure and its funding model. These hampered the harmonization of its efforts and its agility in achieving results on the ground.
