In an attempt to reach out to the non-traditional players and reinforce the efforts of the evaluation community, a revised governance structure for EvalPartners was drafted to account for three colleges of partners within EvalPartners, namely:
- Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs)
- The United Nations
- Other key partners’ colleges
The new structure was endorsed in July 2019 calling for key partners to join efforts with the VOPEs and the UN colleges to promote country-led evaluation of the 2030 Agenda.
