For some years the authorities have been emphasising the need to reinforce the nature of the "measurability" and "result
orientation" of policy and its implementation. This ambition also takes into account the increasing demand from society and
parliament for justifiable "results". More than any other agency within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Evaluation
Department is aware of the difficulty of obtaining a reliable assessment of results. The evaluations carried out by IOB are
intended to gain such insights, both in order to accountfor the past as to draw lessons for the future.
