Challenges, Good Practices and Remedial Actions Integration of GEEW considerations in newly adopted evaluation policies Integration of UNEG HR&GE Guidance in the evaluation process Capacity development on GEEW responsive evaluation Internal coordination Interagency initiatives Support to field offices

Recommended Remedial Actions Make a clear reference to UNEG HR&GE Guidance Include UN-SWAP EPI in all evaluation TORs Include UN-SWAP reporting in any evaluation training Consider the profile of GEEW experts when hiring evaluators/companies Establish coordination mechanisms with field offices Develop a checklist for evaluation managers
