Our impact

The common understanding and collective efforts of MOPAN members are key to ensure full delivery of performance assessments for priority organisations, supporting the quality of those assessments through crowding in diverse views and strengthening the credibility of the Network. Members promote uptake and use of MOPAN performance information to inform their positions and foster change in governing body discussions and explore co-ordination opportunities where appropriate. MOPAN will maintain its group of strategic high-level stakeholders to advise the Network as it calibrates its approach and continuously refreshes its strategic direction in line with shared concerns and priorities, in an increasingly polarised and fragmented environment.

Multilateral effectiveness is a “shared concern” of all stakeholders. MOPAN’s inclusive approach is critical to the Network’s legitimacy, credibility and ability to promote organisational learning and change. For example, MOPAN engages with multilateral stakeholders – its members, organisations and their broader constituents, partner governments, peers, civil society, and academia to ensure that performance evidence reflects their perspectives and experience. MOPAN will seek to continue to develop as a network, including through its membership and partnerships, to better reflect the composition of the multilateral system.

MOPAN’s outputs are tailored to the needs of senior stakeholders from across the membership and multilateral actors. This includes delivering a work programme aligned to member needs for performance information (e.g., “clustering” assessments around sectors or thematic priorities). In doing so, MOPAN ensures that assessments address key performance drivers and strategic issues facing each organisation and seeks to generate insights and cross-cutting messages that inform strategic policy making and decisions.

MOPAN assessments and insights yield impartial and independent evidence that promotes the effectiveness of the multilateral system in the interest of all stakeholders. Impartiality also means engaging organisations to obtain a deeper understanding of the challenges they face and communicating these barriers and enabling factors to MOPAN members and beyond.

MOPAN continually strives for excellence. MOPAN assessments and insights are rigorous, robust and evidence-based, and reflect shared expectations of the multilateral system. In drawing on its comprehensive body of evidence, MOPAN will regularly update its assessment methodology to reflect emerging challenges and performance standards, drawing on expertise in member states, multilateral organisations and other stakeholders.

In addition to meeting members’ requirements for regular performance information, MOPAN plans its performance information to inform key decision points, both in organisation strategic cycles and in system-wide processes, learning initiatives and policy forums. MOPAN will explore means to provide more regular performance insights and follow-up on their assessments throughout the strategy period. This will allow the Network to remain agile, responding to evolving member needs and multilateral challenges.

By delivering performance assessments through open and transparent processes, as well as publishing performance information as a public good, MOPAN maximises awareness, builds buy-in among all stakeholders and promotes uptake and use of its analysis in decision-making and policy-setting by a wider range of stakeholders.
