The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) was established by the GEF Council in July 2003. The Office is independent from GEF policy making and its delivery and management of assistance.The Office undertakes independent evaluations at the strategic level.

The IEO presents a GEF-wide annual performance report and also undertakes institutional evaluations, such as assessing GEF governance, policies and strategies. The Office work culminates in the quadrennial Comprehensive Evaluation of the GEF.The Office cooperates with professional evaluation networks on developing evaluation approaches, setting standards and delivering training, in particular with regard to environmental evaluation and evaluation at the interphase of environment and socioeconomic development. We also collaborate with the broader global environmental community to ensure that we stay on the cutting edge of emerging and innovative methodologies.To date, the Office has produced over 150 evaluation reports; explore these on our website: https://www.gefieo.org/evaluations/.
