The Evaluation Department is an independent, specialised unit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The unit is responsible for commissioning evaluations of Danish development co-operation efforts, with a focus on thematic, cross-cutting issues and programme level evaluations. The unit is guided by a comprehensive evaluation policy, updated in 2006.

The publication "Better Aid: Evaluation in Development Agencies" provides individual evaluation profiles for each member of the DAC Network on Development Evaluation.

Each profile provides information on the core elements of the evaluation function set-up and management, including the mandate of the unit, mechanisms to protect independence and ensure quality, reporting lines and distribution of evaluation reports.
