GENDERACTIONplus’ Mutual Learning Workshop focused on monitoring and evaluation of gender equality

A recent online Mutual Learning Workshop (MLW) concentrated on the issue of indicators, monitoring and evaluation of gender equality. The MLW was organised in two sessions on 13 and 18 December.

This workshop aimed to discuss and start building a common understanding of what sort of impact GENDERACTIONplus want to achieve in advancing gender equality and how to measure it. In the workshop, results of WP 5 and WP 6 benchmark reports were presented, together with concrete country examples of how gender equality and/or Gender Equality Plans in R&I are monitored and evaluated. A key focus of the discussion was identifying the necessary steps and actions required at the national level to enhance monitoring and evaluation practices.

Resources and methodologies developed in sister projects were presented (GEAM tool, Impact Driver Model, CASPER project scenarios). Participants have learned about the shortcomings of the existing systems and the comprehensive nature of the institutional change for gender equality and the attendant indicators to measure it. In the second session of the Mutual Learning Workshop, a discussion of how to conceptualise gender equality advancement and what indicators to use to measure it was held.
