IRIM implemented the project on ‘Evaluation of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2017-2022), commissioned by the United Nations Development Program. The UNDAF 2017-2022, which supports the implementation of the Mongolia Sustainable Development Vision, was built around three strategic outcome areas, as follows:

• Promoting inclusive growth and sustainable management of natural resources
• Enhancing social protection and utilization of quality and equitable social services
• Fostering voice and strengthening accountability

The independent evaluation of the UNDAF 2017-2022 served two main purposes:  

• Support greater accountability of the UN system for working effectively and in alignment with UN programming principles to contribute to agreed results in the UNDAF 2017-2022.
• Promote learning from the experience of implementing the current UNDAF 2017-2022 about what works, what doesn’t and why.

Also, Key Informant Interviews were held with representatives of Government organizations, Non-Government Organizations, and International Organizations.
