Adapting evaluations to the COVID-19 pandemic

To continue to ensure high quality evaluative evidence and relevance of UNFPA evaluations at the time of COVID-19, UNFPA Evaluation Office has developed guiding principles for adapting evaluations during the pandemic.

These guiding principles recognize that local response and recovery to COVID-19 differs across the world, therefore these principles should be used as a framework by evaluation managers to adjust the conduct and management of evaluations as appropriate to their context. As the response and impact of COVID-19 unfolds, this framework will continue to be updated based on real time lessons from the field.
