Reviews, Evaluation and Statistics

In its effort to constantly improve the quality of its operations, ESF undertakes regular policy audits and evaluation studies to monitor the quality of its services and make necessary adjustments when required.

Additionally, the ESF office performs regular statistical analysis of its activities not only to meet its accountability obligations to its Member Organisations but also to support better decision making, planning and implementation by ESF senior management and governing bodies.
