IUCN

The evaluation of the 2012 World Conservation Congress (Congress) asked whether the Congress can be made more relevant, effective and efficient. This evaluation has been an internal exercise, undertaken by IUCN’s Secretariat Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) Unit between September 2012 and March 2013. While the 2012 Congress Participants’ Survey showed that the Congress was highly appreciated by the participants, a number of suggestions for improvements were made.

A knowledge management study carried out for IUCN. For more than five decades IUCN has used its knowledge to lead and guide conservation thinking around the world. Through its knowledge networks comprised of Commissions and Members, supported by the Secretariat, IUCN has built a remarkable reputation based on its ability to generate, mobilise and provide sound scientific and technical knowledge and advice towards the changes it wants to see in the world.
