More specifically, the review covers the following dimensions: IBE’s mandate and relevance, the results achieved, collaboration and interaction with partners within the UNESCO system and beyond, management and governance mechanisms, and sustainability (including budgetary and staffing issues). It will feed into a summary report on all ED Category I Institutes, intended to inform the Education Sector’s decision ‐ making process to strengthen the overall framework for cooperation with (and among) the Institutes as well as the strategic allocation of resources and capacities. Given the limited scope and resources the review is based on a relatively light data collection approach compared to the previous evaluation in 2005/2006. Findings are evidence based and developed by ensuring triangulation between observation, interview data and documentary evidence.
