Brief information about the survey:

The objective of the Review initiative is to generate a body of knowledge to guide national evaluation capacity development for the SDGs. Specifically, it will showcase successes, lessons, and learning from national evaluation systems; foster peer learning among stakeholders; trigger interest in a regional State of Evaluation report; and inform global, regional, and NECD guidance through the production of readiness assessments at the country level. The next step after the production of country case studies is the production of a regional synthesis report. The regional synthesis will identify patterns and lessons emerging from the country cases related to strengths and weaknesses of national valuation system, readiness to support evaluation for the SDGs, and related trends and priorities in NEC needs. It is expected that the case studies and the regional synthesis will feed into country-led NECD strategies at the national level, and forward into new cases. It is also envisioned as open-ended, with the dissemination of results ideally sparking ongoing and expanding engagement of evaluation stakeholders at national, regional, and potentially global levels.
