The Evaluation Policy sets out how WFP institutionalizes the independence, credibility and utility of its evaluation function. These measures include the

• placement of the Office of Evaluation (OE),
• systems it has and continues to put in place that ensure the quality of evaluations, and
• way it plans its work to make it useful to decision-makers and programme implementers at WFP.

The policy was revised after WFP's evaluation function following a peer review in 2007.

The Annual Evaluation Reports provide a synthesis of findings from evaluations during a year. This analysis helps understand corporate strengths and identify common concerns that require solutions.

OE’s Annual Evaluation Work Programme is selected on the basis of objectively verifiable criteria and consultations
