Evaluation office
Monitoring and evaluation enables the UNCCD secretariat and the Global Mechanism to track and assess the progress of their activities. It also allows challenges to be identified and addressed in a timely manner.
Established in 2014, the Evaluation Office undertakes independent evaluations, and ensures that the evaluation findings and recommendations are used to further improve the UNCCD’s effectiveness. The COP approves the Evaluation Office work programme. The evaluation reports and management responses are presented to the COP and are accessible online.
