Our work

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.

MOPAN is currently in the process of finalising its new methodology, MOPAN 4.

The MOPAN methodology MOPAN 3.1 is used for organisational assessments up to the end of 2025. During 2020-24 external reviews, an evaluation and extensive consultations concluded on the need to continue to evolve the methodology. The development of MOPAN 4 reflects these consultations and is informed by systems thinking, the updated approach introduces a refined theory of change, integrates analysis of the enabling environment, and updates the indicator framework to better capture complexity, context, contemporary realities and challenges, and organisational performance. The MOPAN 4 framework was formally endorsed by members at the May 2025 Steering Committee meeting and the use of the updated framework will commence in 2026.
