FUNDAMENTALS and women in communities benefiting from the Project

challenges:

While women where able to benefit from the implementation of the Project, better gender mainstreaming could have created larger scale impact.

success:

n/a

context:

There is a deficiency towards a strategic gender approach in the project design, with stakeholders noting the absence of clear gender strategies, especially concerning parents and caregivers, which are crucial in addressing child labour issues. Furthermore, variations exist among countries in the extent to which gender has been integrated into the implementation process. The M&E framework also does not define clearly what is meant by “gender considerations” and does not go beyond measuring the participation of female beneficiaries.

description:

The potential role of women in combating child labour was not optimally used, and effectiveness and impact could have been enhanced if family dynamics were better considered. The impact of the project on women could also not be measured.

administrative_issues:

Gender issues should have been more integrated in the design based on consultations with the stakeholders and ILO’s previous experiences
