In recent decades, civil society has increasingly played a central and active role in promoting greater accountability for public action, through the use of evaluation. National and regional Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) grew from 15 in the 1990s to more than 150 by 2012. Acknowledging the enhanced role of civil society, UNICEF and IOCE launched EvalPartners. This is a global initiative that promotes coordinated efforts among development organizations, governments and civil society, with the aim of strengthening civil society evaluation capacity, in order to fortify the voice of civil society in policy-making and in promoting equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluations.
