About NONIE

What Is NONIE?

NONIE is a Network of Networks for Impact Evaluation comprised of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC) Evaluation Network, the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG), the Evaluation Cooperation Group (ECG), and the International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE)-a network drawn from the regional evaluation associations.

NONIE was formed to promote quality impact evaluation. NONIE fosters a program of impact evaluation activities based on a common understanding of the meaning of impact evaluation and approaches to conducting impact evaluation. NONIE focuses on impact evaluation and does not attempt to address wider monitoring and evaluation issues.

To this end NONIE aims to:

  • Build an international collaborative research effort for high-quality and useful impact evaluations as a means to improving development effectiveness
  • Provide its members with opportunities for learning, collaboration, guidance, and support, leading to commissioning and carrying out impact evaluations.


NONIE Members

Most NONIE members are evaluators from the bilateral and multilateral agencies. They have joined by virtue of their membership in donor networks and because they have a strong interest in impact evaluation. Some members provide core funding.

NONIE’s membership also includes developing country participants who bring important perspectives on these issues. Further applications are welcome through IOCE from those who feel they can make a contribution to the network, particularly from developing country governments.

NONIE is an active member organization. NONIE encourages members to participate in its work.
