This project revised ILO’s evaluation appraisal tool, specifically reflecting the ILO declaration on social justice for a fair globalization; appraised ILO’s 2008 evaluation reports (roughly 40 reports); surveyed evaluators’ regarding compliance with evaluation processes and results; and reported finding back to ILO.  The final report included both findings from each evaluation and synthesized findings across the evaluations.
