style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pillar 1: Evaluation Capacity Development </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">IES supports internal and external stakeholders in strengthening the capacity for planning, implementing and using evaluations, with each evaluation being used for on-the-job training, tailored to the different needs of the target audience. In addition, IES offers technical advice for country-led evaluations.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, IES develops evaluation guidelines, templates and tools in line with UNEG evaluation norms and standards. Through using the innovative web-based application Unite Evaluations for all phases and processes of UNODC evaluations, access to evaluation recommendations and lessons learned is facilitated. </p><a class=" btn btn-primary" href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/nec-and-sdgs.html">EVALUATION CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-4"> <div class="card card-block card-std" style="background-color:#579484;color:#ffffff"> <div class="card-body text-align--center"> <div class=" island px-0 py-3 pt-lg-0 pb-lg-3 "> <div class="image-container"><a class="image-link" href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/reports.html"><img src="/images/evaluation/the-independent-evaluation-section_html/EQAs_1.png" class="img-fluid" alt="" title=""></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pillar 2: Independent Evaluations</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">IES provides high-quality, participatory, independent, inclusive, human rights, gender-responsive and utilization-focused evaluations at strategic, programme and project levels (also at a system-wide level), reporting on completed independent evaluations directly to UNODC's Executive Director and Member States. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, to ensure that independent evaluations provide credible information for evidence-based programming at UNODC, IES commissions independent external evaluation quality assessments (EQAs) of all evaluations, with Gender Equality also being assessed, using UN Gender SWAP Evaluation Performance Indicators. </p><a class=" btn btn-primary" href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/reports.html">EVALUATION REPORTS</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-4"> <div class="card card-block card-std" style="background-color:#E5BB16;color:#ffffff"> <div class="card-body text-align--center"> <div class=" island px-0 py-3 pt-lg-0 pb-lg-3 "> <div class="image-container"><a class="image-link" href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/Evaluation-based-knowledge-products.html"><img src="/images/evaluation/the-independent-evaluation-section_html/Meta_synthesis_counter_terrorism_3.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="" title=""></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pillar 3:</strong> <strong>Knowledge Products, Communication, Partnerships and Innovation </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">IES synthesizes and aggregates key evaluation results and lessons learned of independent evaluations into innovative evaluation knowledge products, such as evaluation-based meta-syntheses of UNODC evaluations and thematic evaluation-based syntheses. This also includes joint system-wide meta-syntheses undertaken together with other UN organizations.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Under this pillar, IES further develops and uses dedicated communication products to ensure that evaluation results and lessons learned are disseminated, shared and presented at various fora to internal and external stakeholders. </p><a class=" btn btn-primary" href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/Evaluation-based-knowledge-products.html">EVALUATION KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTS</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <h4 class="site-label ">ABOUT IES</h4> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-6"> <div class="card card-block card-std" style="background-color:#C4BD90;height:auto"> <div class="card-body" style="overflow:hidden"><p style="text-align: justify;">IES conducts independent utilization-focused evaluations in UNODC's mandated areas of work and provides evaluation results, lessons learned as well as evaluation-based knowledge for decision-making to the UNODC Executive Director, Senior Management and Member States.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">IES also contributes to the implementation of the <a href="https://www.unodc.org/documents/Advocacy-Section/UNODC-Strategy-WEB.pdf">UNODC Strategy 2021-2025</a>, which places increased emphasis on evaluation and related services and products as a tool to strengthen oversight, accountability and learning at UNODC: "<strong><em>UNODC </em><em>will conduct evaluations in UNODC's mandated areas of work, as well as utilize evaluation and oversight results to provide information at an aggregate level, for example, through meta-syntheses</em></strong><em>.</em>"</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-6"> <div class="card card-block card-std" style="background-color:#C4BD90;height:auto"> <div class="card-body" style="overflow:hidden"><p style="text-align: justify;">IES, as an active member of the <a href="https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/evaluation/uneg-and-un-resources.html">UN Evaluation Group (UNEG)</a>, contributes to the continuous development of UNEG's standards and norms as part of the Working Groups on Gender Equality, Human Rights and Disability.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Together with other evaluation functions across the UN system, IES also continuously invests in several initiatives, testing innovative approaches and sharing lessons learned, building new partnerships in the UN system. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">IES further closely cooperates with internal Divisions, Branches and Sections as well as Oversight Bodies to ensure complementarity of work. </p><a class=" btn btn-primary" href="https://www.unodc.org/res/evaluation/the-independent-evaluation-section_html/IES_Year_in_Review_2023.pdf">SEE ALSO THE 2-PAGER IES YEAR IN REVIEW</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <h4 class="site-label ">REVISED UNODC EVALUATION POLICY</h4> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-6"><p style="text-align: justify;">IES revised the <a href="/documents/evaluation/Guidelines/UNODC_Evaluation_Policy.pdf">UNODC Evaluation Policy</a> in 2022, considering inputs from UNODC Management, Staff and Member States.
