Call for contributions - Good practice and Lessons-Learned in Gender Responsive Evaluation in the framework of the SDG and Beijing+25

[Soo Yeon Kim]

Dear Colleagues, 

UN Women Independent Evaluation and Audit Services (IEAS) is planning to publish a Good practices and Lessons-Learned in Gender Responsive Evaluation in the framework of the SDG+5 and Beijing+25.  The knowledge product will highlight good practices on how evaluations with gender-lens are impactful in tacking the structural barriers and social norms for gender equality against the twelve critical areas of concern identified in the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA):    

 

1. Women and poverty
2. Education and training of women
3. Women and health
4. Violence against women
5. Women and armed conflict
6. Women and the economy
7. Women in power and decision-making
8. Institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women
9. Human rights of women
10. Women and the media
11. Women and the environment
12. The girl-Child 

 

In addition to UN Women evaluations, we would like to feature good practices and innovative initiatives from other UN system entities, national partners and broader evaluation communities. Having a mix of lessons and examples from different partners will give a richer perspective of how gender-responsive evaluation can drive the implementation of the SDGs, and BpfA. We also plan to widely disseminate the good practices through various channels to potentially inform ongoing discussions around the SDGs and Beijing +25 review.

 Given this, we would really appreciate if your organization could share with us 2-3 recent evaluation reports preferably completed in 2017 and 2018/2019 with special focus on 1) evaluations with strong gender-responsive methods and approaches; and 2) innovative initiatives to systematically capture gender-results in evaluation practice.  

 Please share with us your inputs in the following format :  

 1) evaluations with strong gender-responsive methods and approaches

 

Org	Org Type	Type of Evaluation	Title of Evaluation	Region	Countries	Year	Language	Beijing Critical Area of Concern	Relevant SDG goals	Resources (Links to evaluation reports)
For example ** UN Women	UN	Corporate Evaluation	UN Women’s contribution to women’s political participation and leadership	Global	Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Malawi, Mexico, Pakistan and Zimbabwe (country visits) plus sample of 24 countries	2018	English	7) Women in power and decision-making	SDG 5

 

2) innovative initiatives in evaluation practices to systematically capture gender-results and how they have been used to inform national review processes/normative frameworks (e.g. BpfA, SDG, ICPDs)

 

Org	Org Type	Type of Initiative in evaluation practices (not limited to evaluation report; e.g. tools, use of  evaluations, capacity building etc. )	Title	Region	Countries	Relevant inter-governmental/normative frameworks (e.g. BPfA, SDGs, national review process)	Resources (Links to reports/relevant resources available online)

 

Once this is received, we may reach out to participating partners for additional information or virtual interviews as part of the desk review scheduled in May and June 2019. Please send your inputs directly to [e-mail] by 15 May 2019.

 We hope you find this project mutually beneficial and look forward to hearing from you.
