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 independent
assessment of the quality and usefulness of evaluation reports; (ii) strengthen internal evaluation
capacity, through practical feedback on how to improve future evaluations; (iii) contribute to
corporate knowledge management and organizational learning, making available good quality
evaluations; and (iv) report to the Executive Board on the quality of evaluation reports.
Each of UNICEF’s regional offices is responsible for submitting completed evaluations to the GEROS
process. These include a diverse range of evaluations which differ in terms of thematic area,
geographic coverage, management approach, and other elements.
