Community of Practice Manager for UNEG
Background | |
The United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) is a professional network that brings together the units responsible for evaluation in the UN system including the specialized agencies, funds, programmes and affiliated organisations. UNEG currently has 43 such members and three observers. UNEG aims to strengthen the objectivity, effectiveness and visibility of the evaluation function across the UN system and to advocate the importance of evaluation for learning, decision making and accountability. UNEG provides a forum for members to share experiences and information, discuss the latest evaluation issues and promote simplification and harmonisation of reporting practices.
UNEG is partnering with the MDG Achievement Fund (MDG-F), an observer member of UNEG, to implement its Knowledge Management (KM) Strategy. This strategy will consist of three main pillars: 1) an informal working group on Knowledge Management brings together KM professionals from member units to advise the UNEG Secretariat; 2) a group of KM Focal Points across member agencies inputs information into the UNEG Secretariat and web-based tools; and 3) the UNEG Secretariat has an overall coordination function as well as budgetary authority to contract out elements of the KM work plan. UNEG seeks to recruit a Community of Practice Manager to strengthen knowledge sharing among UNEG member units, to help keep UNEG’s KM tools up-to-date, and to ensure UNEG is using the latest available know-how and technology to service its membership and engage with partners.
