The Multilateral Organisation Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN) assessed the performance of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the third time. The network consists of 19 donor countries that regularly assess the effectiveness of multilateral organisations like UN agencies or international financial institutions. The new assessment of the ILO covers the period mid-2017 to early 2021. MOPAN uses a framework of 12 key performance indicators evaluating organisational performance as well as results management.

Key areas of strength mentioned in the new assessment are a coherent strategic framework and long-term vision, results-based management, a diversification of partnerships and funding sources, and solid policy design based on evidence. Recommendations for further improvement include a stronger focus on the transition to a green economy and its implications for the world of work, the creation of appropriate field capacity, and improved intervention design and monitoring practices.
