The Intersectional Evaluation Group (IEG)
In 2006, at the landmark La Mancha meeting, MSF agreed to seek active transparency and accountability to improve the relevance, effectiveness and quality of its interventions. The result has been an increased investment in developing evaluation capacity in the MSF movement. The Intersectional Evaluation Group (IEG) consists of three units based in Vienna, Stockholm, Paris who together meet the evaluation needs within MSF.
- The Vienna Unit (VEU) additionally offers social sciences support with anthropological studies and qualitative research.
- The Stockholm Evaluation Unit (SEU)
- Réseau Interdisciplinaire Dédié à l’Evaluation et au Retour d’expérience (RIDER) in Paris also conducts studies, lessons-learned exercises, or other reflections.

Stockholm Evaluation Unit (SEU)
The Stockholm Evaluation Unit (SEU) is the primary mechanism to support the Operational Centre Brussels (OCB) in evaluating projects and is based at MSF-Sweden headquarters.
The unit is composed of three Evaluation Managers, two Evaluation Officers, a Process and Communications Officer (PCO) and the Head of Unit. All Evaluation Managers have MSF project experience and each brings a distinct area of specialization — medical, methodological, and organizational. The PCO ensures that processes run smoothly and leads on outreach and communication, while the Head of Unit is ultimately responsible for quality control and serves as the main contact point for initiating evaluations.
While the SEU primarily supports independent external evaluations, the team also collaborates with colleagues on other exercises that promote learning, quality improvement and accountability within the movement.
