National evaluation diagnostic guidance aims to
facilitate institutional self-assessment
 
8
 
Non-prescriptive
approach to account
for institutional/and
other development
context differences
 
 
The Guidance recognizes the complexity of
national evaluations
Complex set of coordination of actors
and actions that interact in repeated,
evolving, and sometimes unpredictable
ways
 
Evaluation capacities cannot be
developed with an output-oriented linear
approach
 
Evaluation system needs to be integrated
with existing institutional and societal
practices and values, and evolve with
them
 
9
 
Guidance will facilitate diagnostics of 
enabling
environment and organizational capacity
 
10
 
Diagnostics modules address key areas of national
evaluation capacities
11
 
Module 1: 
Understanding and building enabling
environment for national evaluation systems
 
12
 
Module 2: Assessing 
the value-added of evaluation to the
national and local SDGs planning
 
 
13
 
National systems and
Agenda 2030 linkages
 
Module 3: 
Instruments for diagnosing existing
evaluation capacities
 
14
 
 
 
Leveraging the process
for capacity-
development, awareness-
raising, and information-
sharing
 
 
Module 4: Institutionalizing & strengthening national
and local evaluation capacities
 
15
 
Adopt evaluation
policy
 
Strengthen
coordination of
inter-sectoral
evaluations
 
Establish
evaluation entity
 
Address
evaluation
capacity gaps
 
Strengthen data
and
 statistics
 
Enable
diversification
 of
the decentralized
evaluations
 
Module 5: 
 
Integrating the SDGs specificities into
evaluation practices
 
16
 
 
 
Clarify new expectations and to
ensure the integration of new
evaluation approaches,
questions, and values into
evaluation plans, terms of
reference, and methodologies
 
The guidance and the online tool will be made
available by April 2018
