Department background

• IADB's Evaluation Profile

The board mandates that Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) conduct Country Program Evaluations (CPE); policy, strategy, thematic and instrument evaluations; and oversee the bank's internal monitoring and evaluation system, processes and instruments.  Moreover, OVE conducts oversight reviews of corporate strategy, processes and instruments; provides normative guidance on evaluation issues; and contributes to evaluation capacity building in the region.  In 2003, OVE began conducting ex-post project evaluations as well.  Self-evaluations are carried out by programme staff in operational departments.

OVE carries out evaluations of development impact, ex-post performance and sustainability of individual projects classified into three themes: country programme evaluations whenever there is a national election; sector and thematic evaluations; oversight reports on bank policies and programmes.
