The objective of the 4^th conference is to bring together experts and young evaluators to share experiences and inform future evaluation practice, with outcomes disseminated through webinars and a book.

We are excited to launch a call for abstracts of proposed presentations and organized thematic sessions for those wishing to contribute to discussions around one of the following themes:

"We need to evaluate the nexus between environment and development. It cannot be one or the other. We need to understand the unintended consequences of any development intervention", affirmed Juha Ilari Uitto, during meeting at IFAD headquarters, in Rome.

GEF IEO Director Juha Uitto and Scott G. Chaplowe of the International Evaluation Academy recently contributed to the newest EvalSDGs Insight #14 on "Mainstreaming Environmental Sustainability in Evaluation."
