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.

Empowering Countries through Evaluation: Evaluation as a country level tool for the new development agenda
A High Level Side Event Organized by the United Nations Evaluation Group
Fourth Development Cooperation Forum (DCF)
July 11, 2014 1.15pm – 2.45 Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium
The Secretary General, in his report “A life of dignity for all” (A/68/202) observed that “Strong monitoring and accountability will be crucial for the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda.” One of the four objectives of the Fourth Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) is to identify ways to enhance national and global accountability and effective monitoring of development cooperation. Specifically, the DCF seeks to support the development of minimum accountability standards and individual countries in their efforts to put in place full-fledged accountability mechanism and dialogue forums.
Evaluation is a powerful tool for greater national and global accountability in development cooperation. By explaining what works and what doesn’t work evaluation can help guide decision making, update priorities, and improve development results. Importantly, it also strengthens national ownership of development outcomes.
This High Level Side Event will explore the role that evaluation can play in empowering countries. It will consider how building evaluation capacities at the country level can lead to greater ownership of the development agenda and how stronger national evaluation systems can be part of an inclusive and robust global accountability framework. In doing so, the side event will put the issue of national evaluation capacity building on the post-2015 development agenda, act as a catalyst for evaluation at the national, regional and global levels and within the UN system, discuss the 2015 International Year of Evaluation global initiative, and help create an enabling environment for evidence-based decision making.
