INCE 2026 in Mongolia is underway!

The Authority for Government Supervision (AGS) is beginning the second application of the National Evaluation Capacities Index (INCE) measurement in Mongolia, continuing efforts to strengthen the country’s evaluation system and promote the use of evaluation evidence in policy and decision-making.
The INCE is a global initiative led by the DEval Institute and the World Food Programme (WFP). Through a participatory assessment, it provides a structured picture of a country’s national evaluation system, helping identify its strengths, progress, and areas where further institutional and professional development is needed.

Mongolia completed its first INCE measurement in 2025, becoming the first country in Asia to undertake and present the assessment. The process brought together 144 organizations from government, academia, civil society, state-owned enterprises, and other parts of the national evaluation ecosystem.

Building on that baseline, INCE 2026 will provide an opportunity to examine how Mongolia’s evaluation system has evolved and where further progress can be made.

The process in Mongolia is led by the Authority for Government Supervision (AGS), with the continued collaboration of DEval and the Mongolian Evaluation Association

Data collection: October 1–15
Results dissemination: October 29

MEA is pleased to continue contributing to this collaborative effort and looks forward to engaging with participating organizations and the wider evaluation community as Mongolia takes the next step in strengthening its national evaluation capacities.
