The purpose of UNICEF’s Global Evaluation Quality Assurance System (GEROS) is to ensure that
UNICEF’s evaluations uphold the high quality standards set for them. The GEROS review process and
the information provided in annual meta-evaluation reports help UNICEF to monitor its progress, identify
its strengths and become aware of its areas for improvement with regard to evaluation.
The four main objectives of GEROS are to: (i) provide senior managers with a clear and succinct
independent assessment of individual evaluation reports; (ii) strengthen internal evaluation capacity by
providing feedback to commissioning offices, in order to improve future evaluations and inform their own
assessment of the performance of external consultants; (iii) report on the quality of evaluation reports
through a review and assessment process; and (iv) contribute to the EO’s corporate knowledge
management and organisational learning, by providing the evidence base for a meta-analysis of good
quality reports.
