The Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) participated in the 13th International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD 2025), organized by the European Center of Sustainable Development (ECSDEV) in partnership with the Canadian Institute of Technology.

Held under the theme “Creating a Unified Foundation for Sustainable Development: Research, Practice and Education,” the conference brought together academics, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange research and insights on advancing sustainability through evidence-based approaches.

Representing the IEU, Marco D’Errico, Impact Evaluation Officer, presented on how evaluation evidence can inform sustainable development analysis and decision-making. His presentation highlighted ways to strengthen the link between evaluation, policy design, and implementation to support economic, environmental, and social sustainability goals.

The engagement reflects the IEU’s continued commitment to bridging evaluation and research to enhance the impact of climate and development investments.
