Book excerpt: Recognising that institutional effectiveness is important to both UNDP's audit and evaluation functions, the Directors of IEO and Office of Audit and Investigations (OAI) undertook the Assessment of UNDP's Institutional Effectiveness jointly, using both audit and evaluation methods. The UNDP Evaluation Policy and OAI Charter share the same purpose of supporting UNDP through oversight, review of governance, risk management practices and institutional learning. This Assessment report encompasses the joint findings and conclusions of the two offices for presentation to the Executive Board in 2017. The objective of this evaluation is to assess the extent to which policy and organizational measures, including the associated restructuring process, have enhanced or have the potential to enhance UNDP's ability to deliver higher quality programmes and UNDP's institutional effectiveness.

Download or read book Crossover of Audit and Evaluation Practices written by Maria Barrados and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossover of Audit and Evaluation Practices brings together academic analysis with insights from practitioners to discuss the potential for collaboration in audit and evaluation practices between three professional disciplines. Clearly written and thoughtfully organized, this volume is structured in three parts to deal with theory, practice issues and how the practices have worked together. • Part One provides definitions of performance audit, internal audit and program evaluation. • Part Two addresses several challenges that professionals face in applying these standards and principles. • Part Three contains examples of organizational collaboration between the practices, how they have worked together and the lessons that were learned from that experience. Specific cases from the Government Accountability Office, and UNESCO, UNDP and Inter-Americas Development Bank illustrate what has worked or not and suggest reasons why. Crossover of Audit and Evaluation Practices offers even the most skilled and experienced professional insight on how to bridge some of the divides. It will help generate a better understanding of the activities and services that are either imposed on them or are freely available and help to stimulate their optimal use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the report of an independent countrylevel evaluation called the Assessment of Development Results (ADR) in Ghana, conducted by the Evaluation Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This evaluation examined the relevance and strategic positioning of UNDP support and its contributions to the country's development results from 2002 to 2010. It assessed UNDP's interventions under the programme areas of governance, poverty reduction and Millennium Development Goals achievement, and environment and energy. UNDP programmes in Ghana have been characterized by UNDP's long-standing partnership with the Government of Ghana. The evaluation illustrated how this positive relationship, based on shared goals and mutual trust, facilitated UNDP's privileged position and how this favourable positioning became, over the years, a major asset for UNDP programme. UNDP succeeded in targeting Ghana's major challenges, as the country strived towards the national aspirations of wealth creation and poverty reduction. Partners appreciated UNDP's deliberate efforts to focus on marginalized communities, vulnerable groups, and deprived areas of Ghana, since these efforts led to enhanced awareness and political action in favour of decentralization and inclusive growth. UNDP retained its relevance in relation to national needs and priorities by being responsive to changes in the political, economic and social context. Notable examples of UNDP's responsiveness include, directing support to relevant institutions to ensure free and fair elections, supporting establishment of new institutions such as the Savannah Development Agency to focus on the poorer north, and responding to natural disasters. The evaluation also showed that the UNDP programme has been effective both at the policy and community level. The evaluation found, however, that UNDP's much-appreciated responsiveness resulted in its interventions becoming more vulnerable to changes in political priorities. There is a risk that UNDP becomes reactive and less strategic. Further, the evaluation highlighted the importance of partnership beyond the government: UNDP did not sufficiently engage nongovernmental organizations or the private sector to ensure broad national ownership of the development agenda. The evaluation also drew attention to challenges that are related to sustainability across UNDP programmes, particularly evident in community-based interventions. The absence, thus far, of a strong market-orientation in community-based interventions seriously hinders the prospect for sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The evaluation examines the strategic relevance and positioning of UNDP support and its contributions to development results in Papua New Guinea from 2003 to 2011. The evaluation found that UNDP contributions have been important in terms of responding to national priorities and government needs. During the period covered by the evaluation, UNDP technical support to the government strengthened institutional development and enhanced policy formulation. Although some of the areas were not key government priorities, UNDP interventions in the areas of MDG planning and monitoring, governance, HIV and AIDS, conflict prevention and recovery, energy and environment and disaster risk management responded to key national needs and priorities. The evaluation also identified a number of areas in which UNDP needs to address specific challenges. These areas include ensuring national ownership and capacity development of all UNDP interventions, following a more systematic approach to programming and enhancing synergies among interventions. The Assessment recommends that UNDP should have a more holistic approach on macro development issues, such as furthering achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, gender equality, and environment"--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: The Assessment of Development Results (ADR) is an independent evaluation by the Evaluation Office (EO) which systematically assesses progress of key interventions by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in countries receiving its support. The ADR in Sri Lanka is the seventy-fourth assessment conducted by the EO and the twenty-first conducted within the Asia-Pacific region, and the first such evaluation conducted in Sri Lanka. This ADR was conducted jointly with the Government of Sri Lanka with a view to strengthening the ownership of the evaluation results by national partners, and thereby its credibility and utility. For this purpose, a Joint Management Group (JMG) was set up with participation from both the Government and the EO. The JMG provided oversight to the evaluation which was conducted by an independent national team and guided by a professional evaluation manager from the EO. Through this mechanism, both the Government and the EO ensured that established norms and standards for evaluation, such as independence, impartiality and rigorous methodology, were followed. We believethat this joint approach has helped the evaluation team collect inputs from a broad range of national partners and resulted in a report that is soundly rooted in the national reality making it useful for national partners and UNDP in designing their future engagement with a better sense of UNDP's strategic direction. The evaluation found that UNDP had significantly helped the country overcome major challenges that emerged during the last decade. Today, Sri Lanka is looking at a new development path as a middle income country, and UNDP has been seeking to reposition itself to maintain its relevance in the new context. We therefore believe that the evaluation was very timely. Having provided the opportunity to take stock of what worked, and what did not, in the past decade, the evaluation proposes the mostuseful role UNDP can play in the future.
Book Synopsis Evaluation of UNDP Contribution to Strengthening Local Governance by : United Nations Development Programme. Evaluation Office
Download or read book Evaluation of UNDP Contribution to Strengthening Local Governance written by United Nations Development Programme. Evaluation Office and published by UN. This book was released on 2010 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strengthening local governance with a view to promoting democratic representation, establishing entitlements, and improving the provision of goods and services, can play a critical role in human development. The evaluation concludes that UNDP has not fully capitalized on its comparative advantage in strengthening local governance, and suggests that, in part, this relates to the absence, within UNDP, of a common understanding of and sufficient corporate guidance on strengthening local governance. While there are numerous examples of support to local governance that have been innovative and effective, other initiatives have had limited impact and some have tended to be ad hoc and isolated, rather than systematic and strategic. For UNDP to play a more effective role in strengthening local governance reforms, the evaluation recommends that it should more explicitly and effectively mainstream local governance into all programmatic focus areas by developing a coherent framework that is firmly grounded in the practice of human development. The evaluation also recommends that UNDP should strengthen its partnerships with its associated funds and programmes in order to enhance the effectiveness of its initiatives in local governance -- Publishers website.
