Finland has been the first country in the world to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the national implementation the Agenda 2030. The purpose of the evaluation was to support efficient implementation of the agenda by producing information on the nation’s sustainability work for all administrative branches. The evaluation results are used for coherence in the policies and long-term sustainable development activities. The evaluation produced concrete recommendations on future directions for sustainable development policy. It also proposed future evaluation approaches.  In this chapter, the authors present the evaluation approach and discuss the key results and their usage. They identify the essential elements of the utility of the evaluation in contributing to national progress of sustainable development policy. The Agenda 2030 evaluation approach was developmentally oriented and conducted in a very participatory manner. The authors reflect on the evaluative lessons learned and future options. They encourage emphasis on learning throughout the evaluation process even more in policy-level evaluations, and special attention to usefulness of the evaluation results already in evaluation design. Designing inclusive evaluation processes is a crucial precondition for evidence-informed learning and decision making in promoting transformative policy in the country context.
