Synthesis Review of Evaluation Results for Regional Economic Commissions – Contributions to Economic Development_IED-24-002
Overview
This report synthesizes the findings of four evaluations conducted by the Inspection and Evaluation Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services on the subprogrammes of four Regional Commissions focused on economic development. These four evaluations assessed the relevance, effectiveness, sustainability, and coherence of subprogramme activities in 2018–2021. The four Regional Commissions are: the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA); the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA); and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE).
The work of the subprogrammes was generally found to be relevant; activities were well-aligned with the
subprogrammes’ respective mandates and to the needs of Member States. Stakeholders identified multiple comparative advantages of the subprogrammes, highlighting their convening power as well as the technical and regional expertise of subprogramme staff. The subprogrammes were responsive to requests from Member States but most did not have a formal tracking mechanism in place to manage such requests, thus inhibiting strategic planning and prioritization. Also, interventions did not always sufficiently address country-specific needs and findings were mixed regarding programmatic coverage across the four regions.
