Evaluation of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (IED-25-008)
Overview
The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) evaluated the relevance, effectiveness and coherence of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT). The evaluation covered the period 2020 to 2024.
UNOCT activities were aligned with its mandate and the 2006 United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (UNGCTS). Its activities were also highly relevant to its five main functions. However, there was an imbalance in UNOCT approach to mandate implementation, with an overemphasis on its own delivery of capacity building rather than coordination of such assistance by the United Nations system entities.
UNOCT interventions contributed to increased awareness and strengthened capacities of the Member States it supported. Although effectiveness varied across the five functions, UNOCT interventions contributed to the UNGCTS implementation at both global and regional levels and strengthening capacities in the evaluation’s five case study countries of Iraq, Kenya, Nigeria, Philippines and Uzbekistan. Government officials and other external stakeholders widely appreciated the support they received through UNOCT capacity building activities, although members of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact (the Compact) were critical of the effectiveness of such activities. Additionally, sustainability of UNOCT contributions to capacity building results was mixed.
