The Beijing action plan for 2030 builds on the insights and experiences shared during the 8th National Evaluation Capacities (NEC) Conference held in Yanqing, Beijing.
The document sets forth a roadmap for building more responsive evaluation systems through five action points:
- Embed country-led evaluation into public policy development and public sector management at strategic formal points of the programming and policy cycle, and where opportunity allows, in advisory and decision-making processes.
- Support a culture of learning and practice that acknowledges evaluation’s dual role of learning and accountability.
- Share best practices and lessons to strengthen knowledge-sharing and capacity-building at global, regional and local levels.
- Use new and emerging technologies and capacities and build upon indigenous knowledge and expertise in the best interests of people.
- Integrate climate, environmental and resilience-building strategies into evaluation to deepen insights into resilience, sustainability and human–nature interconnections.
The document was first presented as a draft during the closing ceremony of the 2024 NEC Conference. After gathering feedback and suggestions from NEC participants, the IEO, GEI, and CIDCA finalised and published the action plan.
