Office of Evaluation Trust Fund Guide

FAO’s Office of Evaluation strives to generate evidence and recommendations that inform thinking, deliberations and, ultimately, decisions of FAO, Members, donors, partners, and others seeking to support the 2030 Agenda.

All work of FAO is subject to evaluation, whether financed from FAO’s regular budget or voluntarily contributed extra-budgetary resources. The Trust Fund Guide updates evaluation rules and contributions to the OED Trust Fund in alignment with the OED evaluation strategy approved by FAO’s governing bodies.

Key changes include:

• The new evaluation threshold is USD 6.2 million, replacing the USD 4 million threshold established in 2007. At a minimum, the threshold will be adjusted annually for inflation.
• OED will assess all projects above the evaluation threshold to decide, in consultation with the project team, whether an evaluation will be conducted.
