Evaluation and Internal Oversight
UNIDO's Office of Evaluation and Internal Oversight (EIO) has three main functions:
Independent Evaluation
The primary purpose of the independent evaluation function is to provide, credible and useful assessment of the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, coherence, sustainability and impact of UNIDO operations and interventions, projects, programmes, thematic areas and strategies, in order to:
Internal Audit
The internal audit function has the primary purpose to provide independent and objective assurance and advice on services, systems, processes, procedures and operations from all sources of funds, both at Headquarters and in the field, in order to:
Investigation
The investigation function, as part of the broader justice system of the Organization, has the primary responsibility to establish the existence (proving) or non-existence (disproving) of the elements that constitute a wrongdoing. Investigation contributes to the accountability, culture of ethics and integrity, and good governance within the Organization.
In cases of allegations of misconduct, such as fraud, corruption, workplace harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse, retaliation, waste of resources, and/or violation of UNIDO regulations, rules and procedures, and other wrongdoing, the investigation function conducts fact-finding inquiries to determine if they occurred and if so, the persons or entities responsible.
