UNODC’s Thematic Programme on Research, Trend Analysis and Forensics provides the overall framework for research and trend analysis at UNODC. While the Research and Trend Analysis Branch (RAB) has one of the principal responsibilities for the thematic programme, other UNODC units and field offices are directly involved in the implementation of national and regional research and forensic programmes. RAB has overall responsibility for defining research standards and ensuring quality and consistency across all UNODC research and forensic science products. The main objective of this evaluation was to generate learning for future UNODC research programming, in addition to assessing past achievements of the thematic programme, and their constituent projects, as regards to their relevance, design, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, partnerships and sustainability, and Human Rights and Gender equality (HRG) mainstreaming.
