THE ORGANIZATION

Independent External Evaluation of UNESCO
At its 35th session in October 2009, the General Conference decided (35 C/Resolution 102) on an external and independent evaluation of UNESCO of a comprehensive, strategic and forward-looking character.

The purpose of the evaluation is to provide actionable and timely recommendations to the Governing Bodies of the Organization and the Director-General in order to position the Organization for meeting future needs and challenges.

In November 2009, UNESCO launched an open international call for proposals by placing the procurement notice on the United Nations Global Marketplace. In December 2009, UNESCO’s Contracts Committee approved the selection after ensuring the process was in full accordance with UNESCO’s procurement rules and regulations. The contract was awarded to the evaluation team shortly thereafter.

The evaluation team consists of experts from Argentina, Canada, China, Egypt, India, Italy, Mauritania, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
