The Universal Development Evaluation Project (UDEP) will provide a comprehensive and universal evaluation instrument and methodology that will be offered free to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working worldwide. This tool will provide all organizations a cost effective way to effectively evaluate their programs and discover best practices that will lead to the largest impacts, and provide automated analysis and reports that can be used to demonstrate impact and secure funding.

As more organizations use the tool, Team UDEP will develop a database of best-practice measures used by NGOs worldwide. With this database, Team UDEP will compile data from multiple organizations to identify evidence-based practices for outcomes described in the UN sustainable development goals while significantly advancing goal #17: revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
