It advocates building capacity among individual evaluators, institutions and organizations representing Asia Pacific countries - as it advances the principles of transparency, accountability, and learning toward a just and progressive society. IPDET jointly implemented with APEA, the Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (GPFE), and the Asia Pacific Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (APPFE) a virtual workshop series in 2021 and an on-site training for parliamentarians and parliament staff from Asia Pacific in 2023.

The Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (GPFE) is a collaborative movement of international parliamentarians committed to improving policy outcomes and social accountability that advocates for evidence-based decision-making. On the basis of the understanding that evaluation can enable governments and parliaments to efficiently and effectively address national interests, policymakers and evaluation professionals are encouraged to work together to build evaluation capacities around the world. IPDET jointly implemented with GPFE, APEA, and APPEE a virtual workshop series in 2021 and an on-site training for parliamentarians and parliament staff from Asia Pacific in 2023.
