Evaluation and the SDGs in Colombia: Where are we and what can be done?

The National Planning Department (DNP) coordinates, articulates and supports the Colombia´s short, medium and long-term planning. The Area of Monitoring and Evaluation of Public Policies (DSEPP) of the DNP has the purpose of producing evidence for the policy-making decisions. The DSEPP does monitoring of the SDGs and is also in charge of conducting evaluations of different policies and interventions. However, linking SDGs and evaluation is something that is still on process. The purpose of this online event, joining strategic actors of academic and civil sector, is to obtain inputs to rethink the role of evaluations in order to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
