Evaluation of the UNEP Sub-programme Environment under Review

The Evaluation Office (EOU) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has carried out an evaluation of the Environment under Review (EUR) Sub-programme (SP). The evaluation assessed the performance of the Sub-programme against the Medium-Term Strategy 2014-2017 and reflected on the (MTS) period 2018-21 in terms of looking forward to the EUR’s potential contribution during the period. The EUR SP was examined against the standard evaluation criteria: relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and impact, and the factors and processes which have affected the Sub-programme delivery. The objective of the evaluation was to fulfil two main purposes: a) supporting accountability by analysing the performance of the Sub-programme, and b) contributing to institutional learning by providing formative reflections based on the evaluation findings.
