The UNDP Independent Evaluation Office hosted the International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities (NEC) in Turin, Italy, from 25 t0 28 October 2022. The focus of the NEC2022 conference was to emphasize the role of sharing progress and lessons learned in strengthening national evaluation systems, and how these systems are essential for countries to ‘build forward better’ and get back on track toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Proceedings capture the rich discussions from the conference sessions and plenaries and include the ‘Turin Agenda’, a framework for action and commitment to strengthen national evaluation systems.
