UNESCO welcomes the 2013 update to the DFID Multilateral Aid Review (MAR), which validates the Organization’s progress made across all four reform priorities identified in the 2011 baseline MAR. The summary of overall progress for UNESCO reads: “UNESCO is making reasonable progress on both ‘Contribution to Results’ and ‘Strategic and Performance Management’. It has improved its Results Based Management, focused more on its comparative advantage and made a step change in implementation of evaluation recommendations. The confidence of members and other UN organisations in UNESCO is increasing.”
