Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.

In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.

Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.

The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

EvalGender+ launched in Nepal

EvalGender+ was launched during the Global Evaluation Week at the Parliament of Nepal on 25 November 2015 in front of 450+ development professionals and policy makers, including almost 100 Parliamentarians from all over the world.

EvalGender+, a new initiative by EvalPartners, is the global partnership to strengthen national capacities for gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluations. EvalGender+ stands for the SDG’s principle of  “No one left behind”, and is especially concerned with gender equality and social equity and believes that no one should be discriminated on  basis of  gender, race, age, origin, caste or class, ethnicity, location, income or property, language, religion, convictions, opinions, health or disability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Launch at Parliament of Nepal: Right Honorable Onsari Gharti Magar  (first-ever  woman Speaker of Parliament of Nepal); Hon. Ananda Pokharel (Coordinator of the National Parliamentary Forum for Evaluation, and Minister of Nepal), Hon. Kabir Hashim (Coordinator of the Global Forum of Parliamentarians for Evaluation, and Minister of Sri Lanka), Marco Segone (EvalPartners co-chair, UNEG Chair and Director of Evaluation at UN Women), and Gana Pati Ojha (Chairperson, Community of Evaluators, Nepal and Vice-President, Community of Evaluators South Asia).

 

The process to create Evalgender+

We adopted a process to get as many people possible to reflect on their dreams for Evalgender+. We had an online discussion on Gender and Evaluation community, which got nearly 50 responses in English, French and Spanish. This was followed by a face-to-face meeting during the EvalPartners global forum, where a group of people shared their dreams and compiled a common dream. Thus people from more than 30 countries has contributed to shaping EvalGender+.

 

What is our dream for EvalGender+ by the year 2025?

o   We dream of an equitable society where there is no discrimination

o   Gender-responsive and equity-focused evaluation has been embraced by all and there is no need for EvalGender+

o   Gender and equity lens has been incorporated in all evaluations

o   National governments have mainstreamed gender and are demanding for gender responsive and equity focused evaluation

o   We will have gender responsive national policies informed by evidence from gender-responsive and equity focused evaluations.

o   Communities own tools, methods and approaches of evaluation. We are listening to the voices of the communities.

o   Evaluators have developed skills for advocacy, leadership and communication

o   Local evaluators have developed capacities and are conducting gender-responsive and equity focused evaluations

o   Contractors, donors, governments, Parliamentarians, UN agencies, private sector, civil society organisations (particularly women’s groups and groups of sexual minorities), implementing agencies, academia, communities, municipal bodies and media have all embraced gender-responsive and equity focused evaluation.

Three priorities of EvalGender+ in the coming year:

•      Equity-focused & gender-responsive framework for SDGs

•      Equity-focused & gender-responsive  national evaluation systems

•      We listen to the voice of the communities and  take action accordingly
