Meta-Evaluation Of IOM's Internal And External Evaluations (2017-2019)

This report documents the results of the meta-evaluation of the International Organization for Migration’s evaluations (IOM) during 2017-2019 (from now on, “the meta-evaluation”). The meta-evaluation was conducted between November 2019 and April 2020 by an external consulting firm (Artival Research & Evaluation). In line with the ToR, the main objectives of the meta-evaluation are:
1. To assess the quality and use of internal and external evaluations (centralized and decentralized) conducted between 2017 and 2019, with the aim of providing actionable recommendations to enhance the quality and utilization of evaluations.
2. To provide IOM staff and partners with feedback on the quality of its evaluations, and if capacity-building efforts to support the conduct of evaluations have made a change in its quality.
3. To produce a full-fledged meta-evaluation tool in which to base the evolution of IOM´s evaluation quality in the mid and long term.
