Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

EvalPartners Equity & Gender Innovation Challenge

EvalPartners Equity & Gender Innovation Challenge

 
VOPEs are invited to participate in EvalPartners Equity & Gender Innovation Challenge. We invite innovative projects with an explicit spotlight on VOPE initiatives looking at evaluations that have made a positive difference with equity and gender policy. The specific focus for proposals should be evaluations that can ‘make a difference’:
  1. Applications might focus on undertaking an innovative ‘use’ strategy for an existing evaluation
  2. Applications might focus on an evaluation which has involved a use strategy as part of its original design
To participate, fill in the Entry Form (Annex I)  and send it to innovationchallenge@ioce.net by September 14, 2015, midnight GMT-12.

Hi Inga,

thank you for the initiative!

We are happy to share our experiences and guidelines attached with a VOPE from DAC-eligible countries.

We have done a peer reviw of development project evaluations funded by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as we found the relative narrow understanding of gender, we have developed 9-page guidelines how to reflect gender throughout the project cycle. We have also trained development NGOs earlier in gender. I assume that we did not manage to spread the guidelines as much. So we would like to conduct a short survey, to what extent it has been understood / used, what are the barriers, what to change or add etc. We would also be happy to pilot the guidelines and the NGO capacity building with a VOPE from a DAC-eligible country.

Just let me know!
