Monitoring
DPPA monitors its performance against the Results Framework accompanying its Strategic Plan. The framework supports results-based planning across the Department and tracks progress towards strategic objectives through qualitative and quantitative indicators.
DPPA also monitors the implementation of recommendations from evaluations and audits conducted by external oversight bodies, including the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU) and the UN Board of Auditors.
Evaluation
DPPA conducts evaluations and learning exercises to assess the effectiveness of its work, identify lessons and strengthen accountability. These include self-evaluations, After-Action Reviews and Lessons Learned studies, guided by the Department's annual Learning and Evaluation Plan.
In line with the norms and standards of the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), DPPA promotes transparency by sharing evaluation findings and tracking the implementation of recommendations.
The joint DPPA-DPO Guidance Development and Learning Steering Committee oversees evaluation priorities, policies and follow-up on recommendations, supporting continuous learning and improvement across the peace and security pillar.
