Evaluation of Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific: subprogramme 4, Environment and development
Overview
The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) assessed the relevance, effectiveness, coherence and sustainability of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP): subprogramme 4, Environment and development, for the period 2018–2021.
The areas of work of the Environment and Development Division, which implements the subprogramme, were considered highly relevant to the needs and
priorities of member States in the region by most stakeholders, and its activities were generally aligned with its mandates. In addition to its mandate provided in the 2017 Ministerial Declaration on Environment and Development for Asia and the Pacific, the Division was assigned responsibilities in 2016 and 2017 to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and work on climate and ocean issues, respectively. However, the Division was given a significant additional role related to the 2030 Agenda, and its work in that regard until 2021 affected its work on the originally mandated substantive issues. The Division has responded satisfactorily to several requests for specific support from member States, but weaknesses were observed in its strategy, programming, monitoring and resource allocation, and some of its identified comparative advantages were not fully realized.
