EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document contains an indicative work plan proposed for 2021-2023, which updates the
current work plan for 2020-2022 (PC 127/6) reviewed by the Committee in 2019.
The plan for evaluations to be reviewed by the Committee comprises thematic evaluations of
FAO’s contributions to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and strategic
evaluations of corporate-level issues, including those recommended by the Committee in past
sessions. Further, a new evaluation of COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme is
proposed.
A new evaluation policy will be proposed for discussion in 2021, as well as status reports after
two years of policy implementation.
The work plan of the Office of Evaluation also includes: country programme and related
evaluations; evaluation service to programmes/projects funded by voluntary contributions;
emergency and resilience programme evaluations; backstopping of decentralized evaluations
and support to decentralized offices; activities to strengthen national evaluation capacities; and
collaboration with professional evaluation networks.
The Office proposes to periodically organize informal workshops to present and discuss
evaluations that are not reviewed by the Committee.
GUIDANCE SOUGHT FROM THE PROGRAMME COMMITTEE
The Programme Committee is invited to:
Comment on and endorse the proposed work plan of evaluations 2021-2023;
Comment on the proposed informal workshops and suggest topics.
PC 129/4 3
I. Introduction
1. The Office of Evaluation (OED) has been conducting evaluations under the Indicative Rolling
Work Plan 2020-2022 (PC 127/6) approved by the Committee at its 127th Session in November 2019.
The main objective of this Work Plan has been to examine FAO’s strategic positioning and
contributions to results in line with its Strategic Framework and Country Programming Frameworks
(CPFs) with a focus on FAO’s contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The plan
also presents evaluations that are more broadly aiming to assess organizational and programme
performance at various levels. This document contains an update of the Work Plan for the period
2021-2023.
2. For evaluations to be presented to the Programme Committee (Annex table 1), OED plans to
continue undertaking thematic evaluations of FAO’s contributions to SDGs, as well as strategic
evaluations looking at corporate-level issues, including those recommended by the Programme
Committee, namely evaluations of: Rome-based Agencies collaboration, South-South Cooperation,
and work on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). In addition, this plan proposes a real time evaluation of
COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme, and status reports on the implementation of the new
evaluation policy and the progress made in enhancing the use of evaluation at decentralized level after
two years of policy implementation.
3. OED will continue conducting evaluations of FAO’s contributions at national level for the
Organization’s accountability to the country and for advising the Organization and the country in the
formulation of CPFs and their implementation (Annex table 2). The evaluations will whenever
possible be conducted in coordination with system-wide evaluation efforts at country level, responding
to the UN Secretary-General’s initiative to reposition the UN development system. OED will also
continue to support CPF reviews and self-evaluations conducted by decentralized offices, especially
when these inform the formulation of new UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks
(UNSDCF).
4. As per current policy, OED will continue to manage final evaluations of projects funded by
voluntary contributions that have budgets over USD 4 million (Annex table 3, for main global/regional
programme or project evaluations). Starting from late 2020, some project evaluations, such as those
covering a single country, will be managed by decentralized offices with backstopping from OED.
5. Evaluations of emergency and resilience programmes comprise a large part of those
evaluations funded by voluntary contributions due to their large funding base. To effectively handle
these evaluations, which require different approaches and criteria, OED has developed a separate
evaluation plan in consultation with senior management and key stakeholders (Annex table 4).
6. OED will support the development of a decentralized evaluation system through dedicated
guidance materials and training, and, from 2021 onwards, the outposting of staff to the regions with
the aim of enhancing the use of evaluations in the countries and the regions and supporting the
conduct of decentralized evaluations.1
7. OED will seek opportunities to undertake joint, collaborative or system-wide evaluations. To
this end, through the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), OED actively engages with the
UN Secretary-General’s Office and Development Coordination Office, as well as evaluation outfits of
bilateral agencies (OECD-DAC EvalNet). It also collaborates with the humanitarian evaluation
community and entities of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), as well as national and
regional evaluation networks to enhance evaluation capacity in the countries. This includes country-
1 For details, see PC 128/6.
4 PC 129/4
level UN system-wide evaluations, such as UNSDCF evaluations, but also joint humanitarian
evaluations and global system-wide evaluations proposed by the UN Secretary-General.
8. To avoid the risk of overloading the Programme Committee’s agenda, OED prioritized
evaluations for the Committee to those which address corporate issues (e.g. partnership strategies,
technical cooperation programme) and those which allow the Committee to give a broad oversight and
strategic guidance to the Organization (e.g. contribution to SDGs, COVID-19 response and recovery
programme).
9. At the same time, OED conducts a number of evaluations and produces knowledge products
such as evaluation syntheses that might be of interest to the Programme Committee Members as well
as to FAO Members at large. To make an effective use of these evaluations for all those interested in,
OED proposes to start organizing periodic informal workshops to present these reports and provide a
space for discussion. In this regard, OED welcomes any suggestion on evaluations to be presented in
these workshops from those listed in Annex tables 2, 3 and 4. Suggestions on the format of the
workshop are also welcome.
II. Proposed Programme of Evaluations
A. Evaluations presented to the Governing Bodies
10. Regarding thematic evaluations of FAO’s contributions to SDGs, OED will present the second
part of the evaluation on SDG2: zero hunger at the current session. In the period 2021-2023, OED will
present evaluations of the remaining SDGs for which FAO has a leading role, with priority being
given to those that cover natural-resources aspects as these have not featured prominently in recent
thematic evaluations, namely: SDG13: climate change, SDG6: clean water and sanitation, SDG14: life
below water, SDG15: life on land, and SDG12: sustainable consumption and production. These will
be followed by those for which FAO has a major contributing role (SDG5: gender equality, SDG1: no
poverty), which will be included in the next update of the Work Plan. In particular, the evaluation of
FAO’s contribution to SDG1 will be timed to allow a fuller examination of the effects of the Director-
General’s initiatives such as the Hand-in-Hand Initiative.
11. On evaluations looking at corporate-level strategic issues, OED will present the evaluations of
the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) and of the Civil Society Partnership Strategy at the
current session. The evaluation of FAO’s role and work on Antimicrobial Resistance, the joint
evaluation of Rome-based Agencies collaboration, and the evaluation of FAO South-South
Cooperation – which were recommended or suggested by the Committee – will be presented
respectively in 2021 (spring), 2021 (autumn) and 2022 (spring).
12. Further, this Work Plan newly proposes a real time evaluation of FAO’s COVID-19 Response
and Recovery Programme, which will be conducted in stages. The Office intends to present a report to
the Committee towards the end of 2021 (autumn) aiming to document the progress made and lessons
learnt, and examine operational and coordination aspects at both global and country levels. The Office
may further propose, in the next update of the Work Plan, a second report aiming to assess results
achieved in contribution to medium-term recovery at country level, presented at an appropriate timing
in light of the evolving situation under the pandemic.
13. Following the proposal for a new FAO Evaluation Policy to be discussed at the spring session
of 2021, the Office proposes to submit status reports on the implementation of the new Evaluation
Policy and the progress made in the use of evaluation at the decentralized level, to be presented in
2023 (spring) after nearly two years of policy implementation.
14. Annex table 1 presents the proposed plan of evaluation to be submitted to the Programme
Committee for 2021-2023. For information purposes, the table also includes follow-up reports to
PC 129/4 5
previous evaluations to be submitted by Management after two years of implementing the actions
contained in the respective management responses.
B. Country Programme Evaluations
15. OED has conducted between 6-8 country-level evaluations in the period 2016-2018, as both a
mechanism to provide accountability to Members and their populations, and to serve as an opportunity
to document results, reflect on achievements and identify lessons learnt for future application.
16. The plan for country evaluations is developed in consultation with the Regional and Country
Offices. In principle, countries in the penultimate year of CPF implementation are selected. Other
factors considered during the consultations include: the strategic importance of the programme in the
view of the Regional Office, country programmes that are under-evaluated; programmes in the
countries with high needs of FAO support; and the usefulness of evaluation as an input to the
development of a new strategic direction for the programme, such as in countries with new
government administration or countries developing the system-wide UNSDCF. Given the changing
circumstances in each country, and current travel limitations, country evaluations are confirmed
generally a year in advance. Annex table 2 provides the plan of country programme evaluations as it
currently stands.
17. In addition, OED liaises with Regional Offices to discuss modalities for the provision of
evaluation services to decentralized offices interested in conducting self-evaluations or reviews of
their country programmes.
C. Evaluations of programme/projects funded by voluntary contributions
18. OED manages and quality assures evaluations of programmes and projects funded by
voluntary contributions in accordance with the policy. In 2020, including the carry-over from 2019,
OED has been conducting 49 project evaluations (31 ongoing and 18 completed) with global, regional,
and national scopes. These included evaluations of multi-country programmes such as: Information on
Nutrition, Food Security and Resilience for Decision Making (INFORMED); Voluntary Guidelines on
the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food
Security (VGGT); and the Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT - phase II). Annex table 3 presents
evaluations of some major programmes or projects funded by voluntary contributions that are recently
completed, currently on-going and scheduled in the near future.
19. In 2020, OED needed to adjust its plan of and approaches to programme/project evaluations
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. OED has consulted and collaborated with project teams and donors
to identify how to best address the delays and challenges resulting from the pandemic. The evaluation
timings, processes, approaches and terms of reference were thus revised to accommodate these
challenges. For example, due to the pandemic, many projects were granted extensions, which resulted
in the postponement of evaluations. Movement restrictions also led to changes in the way evaluations
are conducted.
20. The projected number of evaluations of programmes/projects funded by voluntary
contributions is presented in the table below. Most likely, the projected figures would need to be
adjusted, especially those for 2021, due to the evolving pandemic situation. Also, starting from late
2020, some project evaluations will be managed by regional, subregional and country offices with
support from OED, as part of FAO’s efforts to strengthen evaluation capacities at the decentralized
level.

2021 70 - 3 67
D. Emergency and resilience programme evaluations
21. FAO’s emergency and resilience programme covers over half of FAO’s field programmes and
is a major contributor to the trust fund that finances evaluations of voluntary contributions. The
evaluation of FAO’s emergency and resilience programmes thus contributes to the overall FAO
accountability and learning agenda.
22. Humanitarian assistance is normally delivered under tight logistical and time constraints, so
are their evaluation activities. These evaluations need to give special attention to humanitarian
principles and apply evaluation criteria of different dimensions from those applied to development
projects – for instance by looking at the appropriateness of actions under prevailing security situations,
protection of vulnerable populations in crisis situations, impartial delivery of support to all affected
populations, and the application of the “do no harm” principle. These evaluations also often encounter
unexpected challenges, mainly of a logistical or security nature, and thus require specific expertise in
their design and management. OED, therefore, has established a team of evaluation managers to
implement a separate plan of emergency and resilience programme evaluations, presented in Annex
table 4. The plan is composed of ‘cluster’ (clustering projects addressing the same crisis), thematic,
real-time and inter-agency evaluations.
23. In selecting topics for evaluation, the plan seeks to ensure coverage of all major emergency
and resilience programmes implemented in response to crises, in particular those which the IASC has
declared Scale-Up activations to which FAO has adhered to. In addition, some country-level
evaluations where FAO’s work is mostly of an emergency nature are included in this plan.
24. OED is an active member of the Steering and Management Groups of the Inter-Agency
Humanitarian Evaluations (IAHEs) and undertakes joint evaluations with UN Agencies as well as
other members outside of the UN system.
25. On-going emergency and resilience programme evaluations include a thematic evaluation of
FAO’s role and work on the humanitarian – development – peace nexus; and, in response to the FAO
Director-General’s request, a real-time evaluation of the Desert Locusts response. In the pipeline for
2021-2022, are evaluations of the resilience programmes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and
in South Sudan, together with thematic evaluations of FAO’s cash transfer and cash-plus work, and
FAO’s work on forced migration. The full plan is presented in Annex table 4.
III. Other Activities of the Office of Evaluation
26. In addition to conducting evaluations, OED undertakes a number of activities to discharge its
mandate and to maximize its contribution to the goals of the Organization and the international
community.
E. Collaboration through United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG)
27. OED is an active member of UNEG, which brings together the evaluation functions of 57
member and observer organizations. UNEG’s objectives are to: 1) develop and safeguard professional
norms, standards and guidance; 2) enhance professionalization and capacity; and 3) influence policy-
making and operational work through evaluations. In 2020, OED contributed to organizing and
participated in the annual UNEG Evaluation Week, held virtually for the first time ever. OED also
co-led several inter-agency working groups and initiatives, and contributed to organizing the first
PC 129/4 7
Partnership Forum between UNEG and the OECD-DAC EvalNet, which strengthened relations
between UNEG members and evaluation offices of bilateral donor agencies.
28. In March 2020, OED Director was elected as UNEG Chair for the period 2020-2022 and is
expected to exert leadership for and proactively participate in the work of this inter-agency network. In
the period 2020-2021, OED will continue to participate in inter-agency working groups on such topics
as: evaluation methods; peer reviews; human rights and gender equality; capacity development;
national evaluation capacity; evaluating policy influence; System-Wide Evaluations and evaluations of
country-level UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks.
F. Collaboration with other evaluation networks
29. Building on the collaboration with UNEG, OED has contributed to the work of the COVID-19
Global Evaluation Coalition2, which is made up of the evaluation units of national government
agencies, UN organisations and multilateral institutions. The Coalition aims at providing credible
evidence to inform international cooperation supporting non-clinical responses to and recovery from
the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries, thus helping to ensure lessons are learned and the
global development community delivers on its promises. OED, together with the evaluation offices of
the Rome-based Agencies and interested OECD-DAC Members, contributed to the development of a
lessons note on “Responding to food security during COVID-19”, which was presented at a meeting of
Development Cooperation Ministers held in June 2020.
G. National evaluation capacity development
30. In 2014, the UN General Assembly in its Resolution 69/237 called upon entities of the UN
development system to support the strengthening of national capacities for the evaluation of
development activities at country level. To realize Agenda 2030, it is essential that national institutions
have the capacity to assess contributions of national policies and programmes to SDGs. To this end,
OED has supported the strengthening of evaluation capacities of national counterparts through its
country-level evaluation work and the EvalForward Community of Practice.
31. For instance, OED has been making significant efforts to involve national evaluators and
stakeholders as team members, advisors or key informants in its evaluation work. This has enhanced
the relevance of evaluations by maximizing the use of local knowledge and perspectives, and fostered
evaluation capacities that can be relied upon in the future. The significance of these gains became
apparent with the restrictions of international travel under the pandemic situation, which have led to an
even greater use of national evaluation capacities.
32. EvalForward – the Community of Practice on Evaluation for Agriculture, Food Security and
Rural Development, jointly supported by the evaluation offices of FAO, IFAD and WFP since 2018 –
has been another important channel to develop evaluation culture and capacities amongst practitioners
in developing countries. Facilitating knowledge exchanges, awareness raising and networking, the
Community has a membership of over 900 evaluators, decision makers and academics in 98 countries
and offers its services in English, French and Spanish.
33. OED plans to further its efforts towards developing national evaluation capacities, by
continuing to engage national evaluations and stakeholders, and support EvalForward. OED may also
undertake targeted projects to respond to needs expressed by national counterparts. These efforts will
be carried out in synergy with FAO’s efforts to strengthen its decentralized evaluation function.

H. Communication – sharing the knowledge and promoting dialogue
34. Communication and knowledge sharing are a key component of OED’s work. Effective
communication requires delivering the right information at the right timing in the right format to the
right audience, and promoting dialogues therefrom. It allows the results of evaluation to be known by a
broader audience, and contributes to enhancing their use in designing and implementing the
Organization’s activities.
35. OED’s communication strategy aims to enhance utility and visibility of its evaluations. It
provides the principles underlying OED communication work, and identify the objectives and the
priority areas of work for the next few years, which include the development of guidelines to promote
systematic approaches to communicating with stakeholders during the process of conducting an
evaluation, identification of demands for knowledge products such as synthesis reports, organization
of learning and knowledge exchange events or workshops. In addition, OED plans to improve its
online presence through updating and further developing the website in order to make evaluation
reports and findings easier to access and use.
