The Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020 (also called EvalAgenda2020) was formally launched at the Parliament of Nepal on 25^th November, 2015. The aims of EvalAgenda2020 are to:

Strengthen the enabling environment for evaluation.
Develop Institutional capacities.
Participate in EvalPartners efforts to build individual capacities for evaluation, focusing on evaluators, commissioners and users of evaluation.
Support the inter-linkages among these first three dimensions by working together (as governments, parliamentarians, VOPEs, the United Nations, foundations, civil society, private sector, academia, and other interested groups).

As part of the realisation of this agenda EvalPartners launched global networks to promote engagement, innovation, and exchange such as EvalYouth, EvalSDG's, EvalGender+, EvalIndigenous, Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation.

4.5.1 Engaging Members of Parliament in Development Evaluation

Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPE) can initiate engaging parliamentarians through formal and informal advocacy and awareness on evaluation and its value to MP. Bring likeminded parliamentarians who are interested together forming a group or a forum. Taking a twin approach work with this group on one end to promote a National Evaluation Policy (NEP) which is institutionalize the concept of evaluation in a country. The other is to train and pilot the use of evaluation in development projects at the electoral level. This hands-on approach will help the MPs to better understand the value of evaluation to them and to their constituency. See the following simple framework to engage parliaments in development evaluation.
