MOPAN provides timely, impartial and robust performance evidence to support accountability and learning in the multilateral system. Through high-quality assessments, MOPAN evaluates whether multilateral organisations are equipped to deliver results, uphold ethical standards and work coherently across the system. Its evidence informs decision-making on funding, policy and governance, while tailored insights help stakeholders navigate emerging challenges and identify solutions. MOPAN’s evolving methodology ensures its performance standards remain relevant, supporting improved organisational effectiveness. By engaging policymakers and multilateral actors, MOPAN promotes the uptake of its evidence, strengthening accountability and enhancing the delivery of global and local solutions.
Our work
What we do
MOPAN assessment methodology
MOPAN conducts organisational performance assessments that generate evidence to inform strategic and operational decision‑making and promote learning across the multilateral system. Assessment reports are publicly available and are widely used by member governments, multilateral organisations, and other stakeholders.
MOPAN organisational assessments are undertaken using a common methodology and indicator framework. While the methodology has evolved through several iterations over time, the current version - MOPAN 4 - represents a significant methodological update. MOPAN 4 is set to deliver sharper, more context‑aware and dynamic assessments that better capture salient issues across different types of multilateral organisations. It does so through a single, coherent and methodologically robust framework that upholds relevant performance standards and supports both organisational and system‑wide learning.
