EvalGender+ : Setting Up Process

[Awuor Ponge]

Dear Members,

Evalpartners through EvalGender+ http://www.mymande.org/evalgender was aiming to bring together those interested in gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluations. To include as many as possible in building this partnership - Marco Segone, Florencia Tateossian, Awuor Ponge and Rituu B Nanda put a query on in gender and evaluation community asking the members their dream for EvalGender+. The query was posted on 3rd November 2015. Subsequently volunteers came forward to translate the query in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish.

 

We received 42 responses in English, French and Spanish from 24 countries representing Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. Respondents were evaluators, researchers, staff from NGOs as well as funding agencies and one was an agency from the private sector. 25% of the respondents were male.  We did not receive responses to the query in Portuguese, Russian and Turkish.
