Strategic/Thematic 2024
Comparative study of WHO evaluation function with selected UN entities
Agency
World Health Organization

Overview

This study has compared the WHO evaluation function, both at global and regional level, with eight UN agencies (FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP) that were selected purposively based on comparability to WHO in size or function, or as agencies recognized (e.g. by UNEG Peer Review/MOPAN) to have strong and mature evaluation functions.

The objectives of the study are to:

Identify good practices applicable to WHO in terms governance, coverage and resources which contribute to ensuring 1) independence, 2) credibility, and 3) use.
Compare current policy & systems, practice and resourcing of WHO evaluation function with selected UN entities’ organizational setting, mechanisms, processes and tools.
Make recommendations on the three dimensions (policy & systems, practice, and resourcing) to Member States and the Secretariat to enhance the ability of the WHO evaluation function to stimulate learning and promote accountability, transparency, and effectiveness through independent, credible and useful evaluations.
Whilst there is no direct comparator to WHO in structure, size or mandate, this study has sought to identify lessons learnt and best practices from comparator agencies which may inform WHO’s approach to strengthening its evaluation function going forward.
