DPPA: Evaluation of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs
Overview
The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) assessed the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs conflict prevention work in, and in support to, non-mission settings, with a primary focus on the Department’s regional divisions, which have key responsibility for its conflict prevention mandate. The evaluation was conducted using surveys, interviews, case studies, on-site visits, direct observation, document reviews, an assessment of 155 Department analytical outputs, an analysis of Department correspondence log data and secondary data analyses.
The Department work programme was well aligned with its conflict prevention mandate; its workplans, activities and staff competencies were highly relevant to its conflict prevention objectives, although it lacked a more proactive and strategic approach to its conflict prevention work. The Department has made effective use of its mediation and preventive diplomacy tools and effectively contributed to conflict prevention when key enabling factors such as strong political will, leadership and cohesive international support were in place. The Department has leveraged its partnerships effectively within the United Nations system to implement its conflict prevention activities, but partnerships with regional organizations and civil society organizations have varied.
