The INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) is pleased to share the positive findings and conclusions of the mid-term evaluation of its Strategic Plan 2019-2023.
Einar Gørrissen, IDI Director General, commented that “the favorable findings and conclusions of this mid-term evaluation are proof of IDI’s dedicated work and commitment to effectively implement its Strategic Plan. We take the recommendations very seriously and will make sure we address most of them in the upcoming Strategic Plan.”
A team of independent external evaluators structured the evaluation around the OECD DAC evaluation criteria. They concluded that the Strategic Plan “provides for structuring IDI’s Delivery Model aligned to its six priorities with a comprehensive Results Framework and annual monitoring, evaluation and reporting processes”.
The evaluation provided, among others, for a positive assessment related to
- IDI structures and delivery mechanisms
- the implementation of the two strategic shifts in the current Strategic Plan
- IDI’s Covid-19 response
- the transition from the INTOSAI-Donor Secretariat to the Global Foundations Unit
- IDI’s strengthened approach to partnerships and
- the integration of SAI’s perspectives on IDI’s service offerings
The evaluation makes eight strategic and twelve operational recommendations, some of which IDI has already started to implement. However, most of the recommendations with which IDI agreed will be reflected in IDI’s upcoming Strategic Plan 2024-2029.
In a recent Board meeting on 30 March, IDI’s Board approved IDI’s management response to the recommendations of the evaluation.
