  • Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (Vopes) Grew from 15 in the 1990S to More Than 155 by 2012
    In recent decades, civil society has increasingly played a central and active role in promoting greater accountability for public action, through the use of evaluation. National and regional Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) grew from 15 in the 1990s to more than 155 by 2012. Acknowledging the enhanced role of civil society, UNICEF and IOCE launched EvalPartners. for Professional Evaluation Organizations Voluntary This is a global initiative that promotes coordinated efforts among development organiza- tions, governments and civil society, with the aim of strengthening civil society evalua- tion capacity, in order to fortify the voice of civil society in policy-making and in promoting equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluations. EvalPartners was met with a surge of enthusiasm evidenced in the joining of 27 members, including all regional VOPEs, within a few months of its launch. The goal of the EvalPartners Initiative is to contribute to the enhancement of the capacity of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) – notably, VOPEs – to influence policy-makers, other key stakeholders and public opinion, so that public policies are evidence-informed and support equity in development processes and results. The expected outcome of EvalPartners is three-fold: • VOPEs are stronger. Their institutional and organizational capacities are enhanced. • VOPEs are more influential. They are better able to play strategic roles in strengthening the enabling environment for evaluation within their countries. In so doing, they help to improve national evaluation systems and to promote the use of evaluation evidence in the development of policies geared towards effective, equitable and gender-equality responsive development results. • VOPEs develop sustainable strategies to enhance the evaluation skills, knowledge and capacities of their members, and of evaluators more widely, to manage and conduct credible and useful evaluations.
