Overview

The Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (GPFE)

The Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (GPFE) was launched on 25th November 2015 at the Parliament of Nepal. This was a result of rapidly growing interest in the use of evaluation in governance. Launching of the Global Evaluation Agenda 2016 - 2020 at this event was a notable milestone and an achievement. In addition, International Year of Evaluation 2015, supported by EvalPartners was also celebrated at the Global Evaluation Forum 2015.
