The 2014 Development Assistance Committee/United Nations Evaluation Group peer review of the evaluation function at WFP concluded that the principles and practice of independent, credible and useful evaluation, supported by the 2008 evaluation policy, are well-established in WFP, particularly at the centralized evaluation level. However, several aspects of the evaluation function remain under-developed, particularly at the decentralized programme level. WFP’s 2014–2017 Strategic Plan reflects the critical need to meet rising demand for evidence of impact. It commits to enhancing staff and country office capacities to evaluate results for accountability and continuous quality improvement, and promotes best practice for independent evaluation.
