IPDET Workshop: Evaluation at the Nexus of Environment and Development

The 2022 IPDET On-Site program took place at the University of Bern from July 11 to 22. Our workshop on Evaluation at the Nexus of Environment and Development on July 21-22 drew on the experience of Global Environment Facility Independent Evaluation Office (GEF IEO) and its many partners in evaluating programs and projects aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability. Topics addressed included developing theories of change for interventions in biodiversity, international waters, chemicals and waste management, and climate change, recognizing the interrelationships across these domains; assessing integration and socioeconomic co-benefits; transformational change, additionality, systems approaches, and the application of mixed methods including geospatial tools.
