description This study explores how evaluation management practices affect the use of evaluation findings and recommendations in decision-making, policies, and actions. It maps practices across independent evaluation entities and highlights perceptions of evaluation use in AR4D and multilateral organizations. Triangulation of data from multiple sources and methods underpinned the analysis. The findings aim to support CGIAR in strengthening evaluation management arrangements that align with its Evaluation Policy and Evaluation Framework (2022). In line with its mandate, the Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service (IAES) serves as custodian of this policy, engaging with CGIAR governing bodies and presenting proposed revisions in accordance with best practices and international standards. Beyond CGIAR, the study seeks to spark wider dialogue within the evaluation community on how management arrangements can enhance the relevance and influence of evaluations. Drawing on literature review and mapping evaluation management practices, it offers conclusions and recommendations organized around the key phases of an evaluation.
