In 2014, IOE completed a Corporate-level Evaluation on the IFAD Policy for Grant Financing. 
As a final step before its presentation to the December 2014 Executive Board, IOE held a learning event dedicated to this evaluation and to share and discuss findings and recommendations.

The objectives of this evaluation were to:

• assess the performance of the IFAD Policy for Grant Financing (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency); and
• generate findings and recommendations that will inform IFAD's strategic directions and priorities for future grant activities.

IOE thanks participants for their valuable inputs.
