The Independent Office of Evaluation of IFAD (IOE) evaluates the work of IFAD to find what works, what doesn’t and why. IOE evaluations provide an objective assessment of IFAD's results, and identify lessons learned from experience. Through independent evaluation, IOE is helping IFAD to make a difference for better impact on the lives of poor rural people.
