The incumbent is also required to promote an evaluation culture in the Organization and advocate the utilization of evaluation results and principles as well as provide ideas to identify innovations, recommendations and lessons learned for the improvement of the evaluation function. Evaluations are guided by the ILO’s evaluation policy and results-based management strategy, which adhere to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC) principles and United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) norms and standards. The position will report to the Chief of the RPU and receive technical guidance and support from the Director of EVAL at headquarters.
