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.

Leave No One Behind: Evaluating the SDGs - NY March 2016
With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ahead of us, the evaluation community has started thinking about what role evaluation will play to help achieve this commitment. How will we assess what works and what doesn’t? What tools do we need to develop right now to be prepared for evaluating policies geared towards achieving the SDGs? How can we ensure that we are leaving no one behind when we evaluate progress against the SDGs? Under the leadership of the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of UN Women, EvalGender+ and United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) together with EvalPartners, Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation, International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Swiss Development Cooperation, CONEVAL Mexico, the Government of Sri Lanka and the Government of Tunisia, the evaluation community gathered from 15 to 17 March 2016 in New York to reflect on how to evaluate the SDGs with an equity-focused and gender-responsive lens.
The gathering consisted of a high-level event and a technical workshop. The high-level event featured delegates from member states, international organizations and parliamentarians and addressed strategies for building an enabling environment to evaluate the SDGs with equity-focused and gender-responsive lens
The technical workshop looked into the relevance of the new metrics and agreed indicators, the complexity of SDGs and the power of partnerships, strategies to strengthen gender responsiveness of national evaluation systems, as well as the demand for and use of evaluation with an equity-focused and gender-responsive lens in policymaking.
Presentations and recording of the event available at http://mymande.org/evalgender/evaluating-sdgs-equity-focused-and-ge...
The key take away messages from the discussions include:
- New metrics for assessing SDGs should include a transformative lens to make sure we include voices of women and the most vulnerable. Evaluation is a tool to grasp power relations and undercover gender norms. Data disaggregation is not enough if we want to ensure “no one is left behind”. There is a need for statistics departments to work jointly with evaluators. Responsibility relies on joint work among statisticians, evaluators, policymakers and parliamentarians.
- The complexity of the SDGs showcases a new reality for evaluation. To address this complexity, evaluation will need to look into boundaries, perspectives and interactions. This includes devising new roles for evaluators as facilitators, expanding the evidence universe, and making sure the voices of the most vulnerable are heard.
- Parliamentarians have a very important role to play as promoters of gender-responsive evaluation for the SDGs. They are able to build the demand for gender-responsive evaluation, and link policymakers to evaluations in order to strengthen accountability.
Attendees of the event made a commitment to moving forward in evaluating the SDGs with a more equity-focused and gender-responsive lens by increasing collaboration. Evaluators should drive the invitation to re-frame the SDG agenda for the next 15 years with an emphasis on transformative change. There is a need to focus on who is being left out and identify ways of bringing them in, rather than staying with aggregate measures to understand the realities. Evaluators should become activists and not just experts, and work together with policymakers to ensure evidence is brought back to the driver’s seat.
The event marked the culmination of the multi-stakeholders dialogue that included an on-line consultation launched in January 2016 that aimed at helping strengthen monitoring and evaluations systems to assess SDGs with an equity-focused and gender-responsive lens.
