Guidance and methods

Strengthening quality and advancing evaluation practice

Evaluation at UNICEF is guided by robust standards, methods, and tools that support high-quality, credible, independent, and useful evaluations across global, regional, and country levels. 

UNICEF's evaluation practice is aligned with the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Norms and Standards for Evaluation and other internationally recognized evaluation principles and standards. 

UNICEF develops and applies guidance covering the evaluation cycle - from planning and design to quality assurance, management, communication, and use - while advancing innovative approaches and methods that respond to evolving evidence needs and complex development and humanitarian contexts.
