Cross-cutting issues are identified as topics that affect and cut across most or all aspects of sustainable development. These topics are encouraged to be integrated and mainstreamed throughout the whole process of development, such as design, implementation and evaluation.

To encourage national and local communities to adopt a cross-cutting lens throughout its development policies, CIFAL Jeju/JITC provides a diverse array of related training programs including peace and security, gender equality, global partnerships and more. As a subsidiary organ of the Jeju's International Peace Foundation(IPF), CIFAL Jeju/JITC is committed to emphasize the promotion of peaceful, secure and inclusive societies for sustainable development through our workshops.

on Making a Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation System

Work for SDGs

14 & 15 December 2021, Jeju, Republic of Korea – UNITAR CIFAL Jeju organized a virtual workshop on “Making a Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation System Work for SDGs” on 14 & 15 December 2021. The event invited 103 representatives, mostly UNITAR CIFAL Jeju alumni, from the governmental sector along with NGOs and Academia. They came from 12 countries including: Philippines, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Fiji, etc.

The workshop provided the participants with a learning opportunity where the invited speakers, Booyuel Kim (Seoul National University), Jinkyung Kim (Korea International Cooperation Agency), Seungyeun Hong (Yonsei University), and Jaeeun Shin (Seoul National University) shared extensive expertise on what results-based monitoring and evaluation means and how it can contribute to accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals, and working knowledge on how to utilize and implement such systems. Six UNITAR CIFAL Jeju Alumni were also invited to present their action plans developed in previous workshops to share their experience and receive professional insights from invited experts.

The invited experts put an emphasis on the importance of utilization-focused evaluation. Rather than focusing on solely executing an evaluation, continuously building internal capacity and organization-level monitoring and evaluation frameworks that focuses on utility and actual use of the evaluations was stressed. In result, participants were able to gain insight on how to sustain and monitoring and evaluation system within their own communities. Also, with alumni’s presenting their own action plans and receiving expert feedback, participants were able to learn about M&E in varying contexts.
