MOPAN: The global reference point for performance in the multilateral system

The Multilateral Performance Network (MOPAN) was established in 2002 to foster trust by ensuring that multilateral organisations that receive funding deliver results, are relevant, and fit-for-purpose. A total of 35 organisations have been assessed over the last 20 years, many of them several times. These organisations include UN agencies, funds and programmes, development banks and international financial institutions, and vertical funds.

In 2022, MOPAN pursued the most diverse programme of work in its history. During the year, the Network undertook 15 institutional assessments of organisations — the broadest range of structures and mandates of any MOPAN assessment batch to date. To ensure that MOPAN’s assessment framework properly reflects the operational contexts of the organisations we assess, our Technical Working Group worked throughout 2022 to provide framework adaptations, particularly to meet the needs of international finance institutions and organisations working in crisis contexts. In conjunction with these assessments, the Network launched three Lessons in Multilateral Effectiveness. These studies analyse cross-cutting themes that emerge from recent assessments and the utility of recent adaptations of the framework.
