Independent Evaluation at ADB

OED is renamed the Independent Evaluation Department, as part of measures approved by ADB's Board of Directors to enhance the independence and effectiveness of ADB's operations evaluation function. These measures are based on a review conducted by a Working Group set up by ADB President Haruhiko Kuroda in March. IED’s current functions, priorities, and procedures are embodied in the provisions of the 2008 board paper on the Review of the Independence and Effectiveness of OED [ PDF: 224 kb |52 pages ].
