FAO in line with its new Charter for the FAO Office of Evaluation (OED) requested this peer review, which requires a biennial review of "conformity of evaluation work to best practice and standards." In line with the UN Evaluation Group's Framework for Professional Reviews of the Evaluation Function of UN Organizations, three core criteria were examined: independence, credibility and utility.
