Abstract
Abstract Chapter 7 examines political evaluation use in international organizations (IOs), defined as situations in which actors refer to evaluation (their findings, processes, or recommendations) to realize their own political interests in the competition with others. The chapter presents six case studies on the political evaluation use in the United Nations Development Programme, International Labour Organization, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, International Organization for Migration, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and Food and Agriculture Organization. Based on extensive in-depth interviews with member state representatives, IO administrations, and evaluators in all these IOs, the findings show evidence for political evaluation use in all organizations. Importantly, the political evaluation use systematically aligns to the interests of either member states or the IO secretariat depending on evaluation units’ orientation and stakeholder control.
