IOCE and EvalPartners About VOPEs and for VOPEs 10 About VOPEs and for VOPEs IOCE + UNEG + IDEAS + a wide array of partners Acting as “Institutional Home” for EvalPartners New “partners” such as Parliamentarians Significant part of the EvalPartners support goes to VOPEs Moving steadily to becomes a “network of networks” Very difficult to seek support for VOPEs as stand-alone stakeholders. Much easier (and more logical) to seek support for a partnership Strong VOPEs involvement is needed. Otherwise we risk being “left behind”
