Features of the Assessment of Assessments

IV Post conflict environmental assessment

The findings of the assessments are summarized below.

One is science based, found in academic journals and books with careful reference to theory, international classifications and evidence.

It is intended that it should bring together and review existing assessments

At the same time, it showed the limitations in the convergence effort that ISIC and other classifications could achieve.

Documenting the concepts, definitions and classifications as well as the data collection and processing procedures used and the quality assessments carried out and making this information publicly accessible

1 The term international statistical standard implies an agreement on a framework of definitions, classifications, accounts and tables to be compiled at the global level.

However, issues relevant to wholesale and retail trade were considered in the context of the Commission's work on service statistics and economic classifications.

Assessments and analyses are done at the Entity level.

One representative noted the importance of considering regional evaluations.

Inclusion of marine litter in global and regional environmental assessments

However, the appraisals were not always concluded in good time.

Such wholly passive data collection will impact the quality of evaluations.

Conclusions and potential implications of key assessment findings for Governments

Concepts, definitions, classifications, sources, methods and procedures employed in the production of international statistics are chosen to meet professional scientific standards and are made transparent for the users.

During the first semester of 2005, UNHCR published the following evaluation tools (i) How to manage evaluations Seven steps and (ii) Organizing participatory self evaluations at UNHCR Guidelines.

Instead, it could settle for offering a range of assessments.

Field level collaboration included joint assessments, monitoring and programming.

It highlights findings of recently completed assessments such as the 2005 2006 GEO Yearbook, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA).

Summaries for decision makers will also be prepared.

Assessments of existing needs could be accompanied by proposals for meeting them.

Another is a comparative analysis of the methodologies that have been used in various evaluations.

Working systematically towards agreement on which series to consider as authoritative for each important set of statistics

(d) To prepare a report on the results of the assessment of assessments for the General Assembly

Details of the overall assessments for each specific criterion are given in the annex to the present report.

(a) Assessments available on the marine environment and an evaluation of their potential contribution to the regular process

The evaluations will also act as blue prints for identifying technical assistance needs.

The team should also contain individual experts drawn from the writing teams of the regional assessments.

They also often offer examples of sharp contrasts in achievements.

Evaluations must look at the various levels and types of poverty, or the most fragile will be overlooked.

The initiative has completed country assessments in six countries and intensified programming in two other countries.

(b) The Assessment of Assessments should be essentially science based.

(a) Agree on a proposed staged work programme for the Assessment of Assessments

The next two years, during which the Assessment of Assessments will take place, will be crucial to the establishment of the process.

We fully agree with the assessments that have been made, and we understand that difficulties are being encountered by the Commission.
