• VOPEs have strengthened institutional capacities;
• VOPEs are able to play strategic roles to strengthen enabling environments for evaluation within their countries, contributing to improved national evaluation systems and policies;
• VOPE members have strengthened evaluation capacities;
• VOPEs have adopted principles of equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluation and have strengthened capacity to promote them to individual members and to those who commission evaluation.

The principal purpose of the P2P program is to encourage VOPEs to form mutually beneficial partnerships.  The P2P program will offer a small-grant facility that will support bilateral and multilateral projects jointly developed by National or Regional VOPEs. The amount of support provided by the P2P program small-grant facility is up to USD 5,000 per project. At minimum a project proposal should be developed by 2 National or Regional VOPEs and aim to transfer a successful experience of one VOPE to the second VOPE and to have a recipient VOPE put this experience into practice.

Management of the P2P program is based on principles of common ownership and shared responsibility: VOPEs will not only benefit from this program, but will also contribute to its operations, including by participating in review of proposals.
