“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.
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.
