Abstract Information: The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), is a private, non-profit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world. In 2020, NED introduced a Program Evaluation Fund (PE Fund) for its four core institutes as a means to deepen institutional alignment and coordination for evaluation and to contribute to the evidence base, knowledge and learning available about democracy support programming. The goal of this panel is to both share evidence from the evaluations conducted thus far and to explore some of the learning around the benefits and challenges associated with launching this type of mechanism.
