The first annual meeting of IOE’s Evaluation Advisory Panel (EAP) will take place from 12 to 14 July 2022. The annual meeting will be organized between the EAP and IOE, IFAD Management, members of the Evaluation Committee and the Executive Board of IFAD. In addition, the directors of the FAO, WFP and CGIAR evaluation functions will also be invited to discuss collaboration between Rome-based agencies.

The purposes of the meeting are for EAP members to: (i) review IFAD’s corporate needs and demand for evaluative findings and recommendations (e.g. what topics, what level of analysis, for what type of decision); (ii) provide feedback to IFAD and IOE on the evolution of thinking in international development evaluation; (iii) provide advice to IOE, and to some extent to IFAD Management, on emerging priorities for evaluation; (iv) participate in a session on the preparation of a Corporate-level Evaluation on Knowledge Management.
