Evaluation of the Office for Disarmament Affairs
Overview
The goal of disarmament efforts is general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control. The Office for Disarmament Affairs supports and facilitates action by Member States in pursuit of this goal and enhances disarmament and non-proliferation measures by promoting, strengthening and consolidating multilaterally negotiated principles and norms and their implementation. It does this through its three functional pillars, namely: (a) normative work, by facilitating the process of multilateral negotiation and deliberation of the intergovernmental disarmament machinery; (b) technical assistance, through the provision of specialized capacity-building and advisory services; and (c) information and outreach efforts.
During the period evaluated, the work programme of the Office was consistent with its mandate and largely responsive to stakeholder needs, and the Office was considered a key impartial broker and technical partner on disarmament issues. Nonetheless, and despite the broad relevance of its work, the Office lacked a deliberate, systematic and holistic approach to strategic planning, which hindered its potential maximum relevance. The Office successfully delivered most outputs of its work programme; however, the results of this work were only partly known, owing in part to a long-standing lack of systematic outcome-level monitoring, self-evaluation and reporting.
