Independent Evaluation of Beyond 2008 Initiative

This evaluation was commissioned by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in order to ‘measure the results achieved by Beyond 2008 in bringing NGO’s voice to the ten-year review of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Illicit Drugs (UNGASS)’. It has sought to analyse the project with the following criteria in mind; relevancy, participation, representation, efficiency, effectiveness, lessons learned, good practices and recommendations for the future. The evaluation has involved a series of in-depth interviews, an NGO survey and a broader literature review.
