The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) assessed the relevance, effectiveness, coherence and sustainability of subprogramme 1 of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), on macroeconomic policy and governance, which is implemented by the Macroeconomics and Governance Division. The evaluation was aimed primarily at supporting accountability to key stakeholders and providing the Commission with actionable information for learning and improvement. It was conducted using interviews, document reviews and secondary data analyses.
The Division leveraged its comparative advantage as a vital source of knowledge and expertise to respond to requests from member States through a wide range of capacity development activities in the areas of macroeconomic analysis, development planning and economic governance. In doing so, the subprogramme optimized interlinkages between its convening, think tank and operational functions. Partnerships were effectively leveraged within ECA, with other United Nations entities and externally to deliver on capacity development interventions. The nascent Regional Collaborative Platform presents an opportunity to further foster collaboration and information-sharing
with United Nations development system entities at the country level.
