Monitoring and evaluating sustainability in investment promotion

This paper examines the evolving landscape of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms among investment promotion agencies (IPAs) in OECD member countries, with a particular emphasis on the integration of sustainability metrics. It explores the developments, depth and effectiveness of these monitoring and evaluation systems in measuring sustainable investments across agencies. The analysis primarily draws on data collected from a 2023 survey on monitoring and evaluation of sustainable development conducted with 33 national IPAs in OECD member countries.
