The Evaluation Function

Evaluation Guidance - Human Rights and Gender Equality Task Force

The Task Force will develop guidance to ensure the management and conduct of evaluations from a human rights and gender equality perspective. A guidance document will be produced, in line with the GA Resolution on the TCPR (A/RES/59/250) that encourages UNEG to make further progess in a system wide collaboration on evaluation, in particular the harmonization and simplifcation of methodologies, norms, standards and cycles of evaluation. The Task Force intends to deliver a guidance document at the UNEG AGM 2008.

Distinctiveness of the Evaluation Function Task Force

The Task Force will develop a common understanding of the distinctiveness of the role of evaluation and the evaluation fucntion vis-à-vis other management roles and functions and determine th evaluation function's synergy with other functions, taking into consideration the distinction between independent evaluation versus self-evaluation. The Task Force will produce both an issues paper (summer 2007) and a UNEG position paper (AGM 2008).

Evaluation Quality Enhancement Task Force

The Task Force is to drive setting quality and best practice standards for evaluation based on the experiences of UNEG members and on existing international best practices. This Task Force grew out of the work of the UNEG Quality Stamp Task Force (work programme 2006/07) which focused on developing tolls for self-assessment of evaluation funcations against UNEG Norms and Standards. At the 2007 AGM the focus of the work of the Task Force has gone on to include developing fact sheets, self-assessment checklists, peer reviews and quality standards/ best practice examples.
