  • exchange information;
  • consult with and advise OMB on issues that affect evaluation functions including evaluator competencies, program evaluation practices, and evaluation capacity building;
  • coordinate and collaborate on areas of common interest (including development of deliverables required under Title I of the Evidence Act); and
  • serve in a leadership role for the broader Federal evaluation community.

Interagency Council on Evaluation Policy

The mission of ICEP is to enhance the value and contributions of Federal evaluations to improve government operations and delivery of government services, by identifying and exploring opportunities, including but not limited to:

  • responding to calls from the Federal evaluation community, including OMB and the Evaluation Officers Council, including consultation requests for technical assistance and/or resources to support agencies in meeting their mandates under the Evidence Act;
  • papers and tools addressing methodological issues that affect Federal program evaluation; and
  • professional development opportunities for the Federal evaluation community.

ICEP membership is limited to Federal staff who are technical experts in one or more aspects of evaluation, and serve time-limited terms. ICEP is led by a steering committee.
