Overview

In 2008, as part of its efforts to professionalize and harmonize the evaluation function within the United Nations, UNEG developed and published the evaluation competencies for Heads of Evaluation functions and evaluators. 

This document is a revision of the original evaluation competencies and reflect the substantial consensus that evaluation competencies are important not only for evaluators and evaluation unit heads, but also for evaluation commissioners and users. It standardizes the competencies required of evaluators, evaluation unit heads and evaluation commissioners and managers thereby supporting the evaluation functions of member agencies. 

In 2018, the Professionalisation of Evaluation Working Group reviewed six pilot projects in five UN agencies to analyse the process of piloting the new framework and draw lessons on the usefulness of the ECF in the areas that had been piloted. In particular, UNEG hoped to answer fundamental questions about the relevance and process effectiveness of the six pilots, including key lessons learned and recommendations for the way forward. The review of the pilot projects tested potential uses of the UNEG Evaluation Competency Framework (ECF).
