Distinguished delegates and authorities, colleagues from UNDP and other United Nations organizations, ladies and gentlemen, Bongiorno!

Ladies and gentlemen,

It’s a pleasure to join you today for the 7th National Evaluations Capacities Conference. This year’s event is taking place against the backdrop of an unprecedented global food crisis with the threat of famine and starvation growing all the time.

Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

The ILO (International Labour Organization) is honoured to host the 7th National Evaluation Capacities Conference, at our International Training Centre (ITC). For the first time ever, this Conference includes all of the traditional ILO partners: governments, and workers’ and employers’ organizations.

Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, dear colleagues and friends,

It is a privilege to join the 7th National Evaluation Capacities Conference being held in the historic city of Turin. It is hosted by the Global Evaluation Initiative and the Independent Evaluation Office of the UNDP, or IEO.
