The International Labour Organisation (ILO) maintains a large portfolio of technical cooperation projects and, given the size of its investment, is interested in learning about the quality of their projects for improvement purposes, accountability purposes, and decision making about allocation of funding. To ensure the quality and credibility of its evaluations, since 2006 ILO has mandated annual appraisals of all independent evaluation reports. As a result, ILO’s Evaluation Unit (EVAL) is contracting annual independent, external appraisals of a sample of technical cooperation project evaluation reports since 2006. ILO EVAL supports these efforts by integrating and harmonizing existing evaluation policies and practices and encouraging the development of an evaluation culture throughout the organization. This presentation focuses on ILO metaevaluations conducted in 2007 and 2008 with an emphasis on methodologies used and potentials and challenges of these methodologies for metaevaluation in ILO.#2010Conference #InternationalandCross-CulturalEval
