ITC: Evaluation of the International Trade Centre
Overview
This evaluation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) sought to assess the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the International Trade Centre (ITC) in relation to its objectives.
During the period under evaluation (2006-2014), ITC successfully delivered project activities and outputs in the areas of specialized trade research, capacity-building, policy support and export competitiveness support. ITC also launched an ongoing change process in 2008 to improve its results orientation. Nevertheless, OIOS found only limited evidence of the results these activities and outputs have achieved for targeted beneficiaries and clients. Despite improvements in ITC to project designs over the period evaluated, significant gaps remain in monitoring and evaluation, project planning and especially in collecting high-quality data on project outcomes and impacts. These data gaps extend to measures of efficiency: ITC lacks data linking costs to outputs, thus undermining its ability to know how cost-effective
its interventions are. There are signs that a new integrated projects portal might enable attribution of total costs to outputs, but this effort is still under way and its results therefore unclear .
