The UNODC Evaluation Policy was revised in 2022, considering inputs from UNODC management and staff, as well as Member States. It now aligns with the Administrative Instruction on Evaluation in the UN Secretariat (ST/AI/2021/3) and the UNODC Strategy 2021-2025, emphasizing the importance of evaluation planning and use of evaluation results.
To implement the Policy, the Independent Project Evaluation process was revised and shortened, while fully meeting requirements for evaluation within the UN as regards independence and credibility.

NEW EVALUATION TEMPLATES AND GUIDANCEThe Independent Evaluation Section (IES) is the operationally independent evaluation function at UNODC. The Chief of IES reports directly to the UNODC Executive Director and Member States on the achievements, challenges and opportunities as identified in participatory, independent, inclusive, human rights, gender-responsive and utilization-focused evaluations at strategic, programme and project levels. Moreover, IES provides evaluation-based knowledge for decision-making to the UNODC Executive Director, Senior Management and Member States.
