PAHO Evaluation
A strategic function for better decision-making in Public Health across the Americas.
The purpose behind everything we do in Evaluation
PAHO's Evaluation function aims to create a strong culture of evaluation at all levels of the Organization, contributing to improved performance, increased accountability, and promoting organizational learning.

Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, PAHO Director

“PAHO's efforts in building an evaluation culture are pivotal in 
guiding our new approaches and has set a benchmark for excellence.”

From Evidence to Action: Building a culture of continuous improvement

Evaluation is a key component of the Organization’s Results-based Management Framework. The purpose of the evaluation function in PAHO is to analyze whether and how intended and unintended results have been achieved, using internationally recognized criteria such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, impact, and sustainability.

Evaluations
What we do?

At PAHO, we conduct systematic and impartial evaluations to strengthen accountability, inform decision-making, and promote organizational learning. Through credible, evidence-based findings and recommendations, evaluations contribute to improving technical cooperation, enhancing corporate performance, and building trust with Member States and partners. This work aligns with UN norms and standards, ensuring credibility, rigor, and independence.
