The ongoing evaluations of the Directorate of Internal Oversight include the following:

• Programme: Democratic Participation, Sub-programme: Culture, Nature and Heritage / Cultural Routes / Major Hazards
  The fight against environmental degradation is one of the key strategic priorities of the Council of Europe (KSP 10). The evaluation will assess to what extent the work under all sub-programme lines contributed to supporting member States in adapting their policies in order to favour an open and diverse cultural space and a safe and sustainable environment, accessible to all, as a fundamental basis for democratic societies.
   
• Commissioner for Human Rights
  The Commissioner for Human Rights is an independent institution with a wide mandate and a mission to promote awareness of and respect for human rights in the member states. The evaluation aims to assess to what extent the work of the Commissioner has contributed to encouraging changes in member states and achieving tangible improvements in relation to awareness of and respect for human rights.
   
• Education for Democracy
  The sub-programme contributes to key strategic priority 12 of the Strategic Framework of the Council of Europe on education for democracy. The evaluation will assess to what extent the work under the sub-programme contributed to increasing the capacities of policy makers and other education actors to prepare students and learners for life as active citizens in democratic societies.
   
• Anti-discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion
  The programme line contributes to key strategic priorities 4 and 5 of the Strategic Framework of the Council of Europe on anti-discrimination and inequality. The evaluation will assess to what extent the programme has assisted member states in providing concerted and effective responses to common challenges to prevent and fight discrimination on all grounds and in ensuring their implementation.
   
• Change management 
  Continued structural and administrative reform remains a priority for the Organisation with a view to further improving its working methods, efficiency and effectiveness. The evaluation will focus on the process of change management in the overall reform process using the elements of the administrative reform as relevant examples. It aims to provide relevant analysis and guidance on appropriate change management models, approaches, methods, tools and good practices for the next phases of the ongoing reforms.
