Insight Thursday: Delivering Gender Equality Results: Drawing on Practices and Experiences of Project Teams
24 March 2022
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Strong project design and at entry, SMART gender indicators, and implementation process that incorporates monitoring and evaluation systems from the beginning of the project implementation, and full engagement with executive and implementing agencies from an early stage are key to success of the project at completion overall and in delivering gender equality results.
- It is useful to start talking about project completion with executive and implementing agencies counterparts at an early stage of project implementation to plan and support a continuous system for collection of sex-disaggregated data and qualitative evidence of gender activities and deliverables. A clear Gender Action Plan reporting template is an important tool for monitoring and reporting on project gender designs.
- Having gender experts in the team, engaging them in all project related activities and meetings with counterparts, empowering and supporting gender specialists in their work, are critical elements if we want to make the project successful in delivering project gender results and initiate broader gender transformative changes.
