M&E Policies and Procedures

The UNDP Evaluation Office publishes the Handbook on Monitoring and Evaluation for Results, which sets out UNDP monitoring and evaluation policies and procedures, and the UNDP Programming Manual for overall guidance on project preparation. These policies and procedures apply to all UNDP-GEF projects.

In addition, UNDP-GEF participates in GEF corporate-level monitoring and evaluation activities coordinated by the GEF Monitoring and Evaluation Unit. This unit is responsible for GEF-wide monitoring and evaluation policies and procedures, as described in Monitoring and Evaluation Policies and Procedures, and supplement those of UNDP.
