| Overview : The United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) is a professional network that brings together the units responsible for evaluation in the UN system including the specialized agencies, funds, programmes and affiliated organizations. UNEG currently has 47 such members and seven observers. UNEG aims to strengthen the objectivity, effectiveness and visibility of the evaluation function across the UN system and to advocate the importance of evaluation for learning, decision making and accountability. UNEG provides a forum for members to establish common norms and standards for evaluation; develop methodologies addressing UN concerns; strengthen evaluation functions through peer review and information exchange and establish partnerships with the wider evaluation community. UNEG regularly assesses its achievements, shortcomings and challenges as a professional evaluation network in the UN system, and analyzes the adequacy of its structure and functioning. The last Independent Assessment of the UNEG took place in 2013 for the period 2004-2012 from which the outcome was the UNEG Strategy 2014-2019. A Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the UNEG Strategy will be conducted by UNEG in 2017 after it was endorsed by the UNEG members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Vienna, May 2017. To conduct the Mid-Term review the UNEG seeks a Senior evaluator who will be responsible for completing all the deliverables of this exercise as specified in the Mid-Term Review Terms of Reference. The senior evaluator will directly report to a “Management Group” which will consist of 5-6 UNEG member agencies.
