The National Planning Commission (NPC) has accorded high priority to institutionalizing the evaluation of on-going or completed programmes and projects, inorder to make decesion making processes evidence-based. One of the major areas in which more focus is needed in this institutionalization process is building the capacity of both those who commission or facilitate evaluations and those who conduct evaluations. Evaluation capacities are important to ensure that objectivity in the evaluation process improve its quality and ultimately increase the use of evaluations in decision making processes. In this context, the NPC has conducted a networking meeting with the support of UN agencies (UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA) in Nepal,followed by a policy forum with the support of the Strengthening Monitoring and Evaluation System (SMES II) project. The meetings and forum were attended by representatives of government agencies and professional networks of evaluators and experts, including those from evaluation societies of Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Japan.This report is primarily a record of the proceedings of three meetings on enhancing evaluation capacityin Nepal, conducted in Kathmandu during August and September 2013. In addition, it includes the concept note that was developed prior to the series of meetings and the review paper produced by a consultant to provide information on the current enabling environment and the status of evaluation capacity development in Nepal.The main objective of these meetings was to facilitate evaluation capacity building by assessing the enabling environment, and improving evaluation capacity among evaluators/firm/networks and capacity building institutions in Nepal.
