Overview
In mid-2015, UNODC Senior Management and the Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) requested a Peer Review of the Office’s evaluation function. The Peer Review focused, following the standard framework, on the independence, credibility and utility of the UNODC evaluation function. The main purpose was defined as “...to help UNODC to ensure that its evaluation function is well positioned and equipped to make the best contribution to the work of the organization, and those it serves.” The Panel was also asked to assess UNODC evaluation and accountability culture and IEU’s engagement with UNEG and UN-system wide evaluation processes.
