This having been said, the Rules attempt to separate the programme evaluation system from the personnel performance evaluation system.

The Board noted that an evaluation of the Programme Review Committee and the Project Appraisal Committees is planned for 1994.

An integrated United Nations presence allowed for more accurate assessment of a country apos s needs, coordinated planning and means of evaluating programme impact.

Some participants pointed out the need for investment and credit policies focusing on the self employed and on micro , small and medium sized enterprises, since they created the bulk of jobs in virtually every country.

(iii) Evaluations coordination and management of the evaluation of programmes and projects, including the preparation of the annual evaluation report, subprogramme evaluations and project evaluations.

The objective of this set of indicators is to evaluate the effectiveness of the programmes on combating violence.

That made it difficult to assess the real impact of restructuring on programmes.

They will draw upon the lessons identified by the CEO evaluation and their recommendations.

To begin with, the Office of the Under Secretary General includes an Evaluation and Communications Research Unit, which is responsible for assisting programme managers with annual programme impact reviews and providing technical support to staff in assessing media coverage and target audience needs.

105. ITC undertakes two kinds of evaluation one at the subprogramme or subprogramme element level the other at project level.

The Division leads the Centre's needs assessment and programme design process and manages integrated national and regional projects.

ITC also pointed out that the evaluation of such programmes automatically includes ex post facto evaluation of projects.

An effective monitoring system must therefore be devised, which would include a timely and thorough assessment of programme implementation and a sound process of self evaluation by programme managers.

The systematic review of the impact of public information activities has encouraged managers at all levels to focus on the evaluation of programme outcomes.

In this connection, the need for programme accountability must be carefully assessed and established.

(c) Assess existing programmes relating to desertification among Parties of the region and their relationship with national action programmes.

In that context, in reassessing programme objectives, the organizations would also be able to reassess the human resources needed to execute the programmes to be carried out.

(vii) Strengthening HIV AIDS surveillance and systems for evaluating programme effectiveness

In this regard, the resources allocated to the programme implementation will be used to some extent to evaluate the Department's major outputs and activities.

A formal performance management system involving regular evaluation of programme impact should be put in place to improve output delivery.

The purpose was to launch a platform from which to assess vulnerabilities and initiate and establish future common CPDs.

3. Each of these subprogrammes included various types of activities, for example, the issuing of such publications as Update (Technology Assessment) (including the supplement) and the ATAS Bulletin.

The Government had directed that all governmental programmes should contain a gender component and that the gender impact of every programme should be assessed.

320. Some delegations observed that evaluation and reporting on earlier projects were often not adequately reflected in the country programmes.

(a) Evaluating the impact of programmes designed to enhance the status of women and legislation granting women equal status with men

The Centre also carries out periodic evaluations of country programmes in order that the effect of such programmes may be gauged and follow up plans developed.

These included activities to improve home based group care and the training of teachers, social workers and parents in the assessment of disabled children.

We intend to take this forward during our field office visits, at which time we also plan to evaluate the programme project management.

To assist programme managers when evaluating and recommending candidates, geographical distribution tables are provided on a quarterly basis

126. The Committee noted with concern the projected decline in extrabudgetary resources and stressed the need to assess its impact on programmes.

Programme managers must, in collaboration with their staff, undertake self evaluation of all subprogrammes under their responsibility (rules 106.2 (a) and (b)). The Rules provide that self evaluation shall be conducted by programme managers (rule 106.3 (a)).
