Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

Dear Marcia
Following pointers may guide you to have a template for evaluation.
1. What was the division of role and responsibilities between men and women within the program context?
2. Whether, the program facilitated equal access to control over resources by the program?
3. How the program facilitated a role to fulfill the strategic interest of women and which SI were achieved?
4. How, the program has facilitated questioning the power relation between men and women within program context?
5. Whether the program has helped the women to be in decision making role.
All these may guide you to draw a template.
Regards
Rukmini

Most of the tools I have can contribute look at evaluating enterprise development/private sector development projects as that is my area of expertise! For example this one: DCED measuring WEE.
Practical templates and checklists are not so common, but have a checklist we developed for gender sensitive indicators in small enterprise development. I can send them if you need them.
Regards, Grania.

Dear Marcia,
I hope to be on time to reply to your query.
I agree with Grania Mackie ractical templates and checklists for evaluating programs and projects from a gender perspective are not so common. However, I found that the checklist provided on page 44 of the "UNEG manual for integrating human rights and gender equality in evaluation" is very valuable. You will find it at: http://www.unwomen.org/en/docs/2011/3/integrating-human-rights-and-....
Another practical resource is the UN Women manual: How to manage gender-responsive evaluation.
In general, some of the questions we use to assess gender parity and gender dynamics in programs and projects are: (This is an example of a rural educational program)
-- To what extent are project activities reaching female and male beneficiaries equally?
-- What differential outcomes and impacts, if any, are project activities having on women and girls? Men and boys?
-- To what extent is the project actively addressing gender-specific barriers and constraints to education and community engagement?
-- What specific actions and interventions has the program fostered to promote gender equality, particularly in marginalized schools (e.g. schools that have low gender parity and other gender biases)?
I hope that this is useful.
Best regards,
Fabiola Amariles
