Descripción
The evaluation assessed the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of FAO’s knowledge products and services, including quality assurance and dissemination processes. The latter are key elements in the new strategic framework and within the remit of FAO’s new objectives 6 (technical quality, knowledge and services) and 8 (outreach). It was undertaken in a consultative manner, and guided by seven evaluation questions. The evaluation met with almost 400 stakeholders; reviewed about 300 documents; assembled an inventory of over 600 FAO’s publications, 70 databases, 120 networks and 70 learning resources; surveyed over 100 staff members and 3 000 known users; carried out a meta-analysis of over 50 evaluations and selected cybermetric analyses; and consulted all FAO member countries as well as a sample of core clients in thirteen members.
