The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) was established in 2001 to conduct independent and objective evaluations of Fund policies and activities. Under its Terms of Reference, it is fully independent from the Management of the IMF and operates at arm's length from the Board of Executive Directors.
The IEO's mission is to:
- Enhance the learning culture within the Fund,
- Strengthen the Fund's external credibility,
- Promote greater understanding of the work of the Fund, and
