Evaluations of the GICHD

In late 2003, the GICHD Council of Foundation decided to commission an independent evaluation of the Centre, in part to assess the GICHD Strategy 2003-05 and to contribute to the development of a new Strategy. The evaluation began in summer 2004, and was completed in November of that year.

In late 2009, the Swiss Government asked the GICHD to commission a second evaluation of the Centre as a whole. The Centre also decided to commission a more focused evaluation of the  Information Management section (including IMSMA). Both these evaluations began in the 1st quarter 2010, and the reports will be finalised in the summer.
