Evaluation

The Evaluation Office is responsible for establishing an effective evaluation system throughout UNESCO to inform evidence-based policies and programmes and for greater accountability and organizational learning. A network of Evaluation Focal Points strengthens the decentralized evaluation system across the Organization.
