The strategy for the Office of Evaluation and Internal Oversight (EIO) at UNIDO delineates its role in providing oversight through evaluation, internal audit, and investigation. It outlines how these functions align with UNIDO’s strategic objectives, enhancing organizational performance and governance from its inception to the current framework. EIO operates under international and United Nations standards, assessing UNIDO’s adherence to and effectiveness in achieving its stated goals. The strategy is designed as a roadmap to guide EIO’s contributions towards organizational enhancements and ensuring accountability. It incorporates global development trends, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and aligns with UNIDO’s medium-term programme frameworks. This strategic orientation is intended to reinforce stakeholder trust, improve governance, and optimize collaborative efforts with external oversight entities, thereby supporting UNIDO’s mission towards inclusive and sustainable industrial development.
