About WGEPPP:
The International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) is the professional organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI). The Working Group on Evaluation of Public Policies and Programs (WGEPPP) is part of INTOSAI in order to meet its strategic objectives of knowledge sharing.
The Working Group aims to develop the practice of Program and Public Policies Evaluation by SAIs and to provide interested SAIs with information, methodological tools and good practices examples.
The group endeavours: to develop the exchange of good practices in the field of Evaluation; to collect and disseminate information and to promote knowledge sharing among SAIs; to facilitate the planning and conducting of Program Evaluation by SAIs.
A major result of this group consisted in the endorsement of the “Guidelines on the Evaluation of Public Policies” by the Incosai XXII of December 2016 classified as Intosai GOV 9400. These guidelines, which aim to identify the main characteristics and methods of the Evaluation of Public Policies, had been submitted to a large consultation within Intosai community and international organizations.
Since March 2022, the Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) leads the WGEPPP.
