On October 4, 2024, the Energy Evaluation Asia Pacific (EEAP) hosted its 12th webinar focusing on the important topic of ‘Evaluation for Policy Making’. This insightful webinar featured three notable speakers:
- Jarred Metoyer, Senior Vice President, Energy Markets and Risk North America, Energy Systems, DNV
- Jean-Sébastien Broc, Consultant and Researcher at IEECP (Institute for European Energy & Climate Policy)
- Juha I. Uitto, Former Director Independent Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)
Jarred Metoyer shared important lessons learned from evaluation of energy programs and policies from California and Massachusetts, who are leaders in the US. Dr. Jean-Sébastien Broc shared insights from the experience of how evaluation shapes energy policies in Europe. Dr. Juha I. Uitto presented how evaluation functions in the Global Environment Facility and how it influences energy and environmental policies.
The webinar served to emphasize how evaluators can maximize the impact of their work by having a better understanding of the policy cycle, including how policies are developed, designed, and implemented across various stages. Integrating evaluation at these stages ensures that policies are not only evidence-based but also more effective and responsive to real-world challenges.
