description:

Cross-unit collaboration on Gender Mainstreaming: The existing gender network needs to be expanded and strengthened initially by incorporating staff who have already been involved in gender mainstreaming activities under the PAs and are not recognized as part of the network. The evaluator has provided an expanded contact list which can be further elaborated.
• However in order to be sustainable this essentially finance-driven collaboration should be underpinned by a unit workplan and a clear mechanism for cross-unit collaboration.
• GED needs to ensure that a clear conceptual framework for gender mainstreaming in technical cooperation is developed in consultation with gender specialists and other members of a strengthened gender network and is reflected in a robust and coherent manner in the P&B, in the ILO Gender Action Plan, in training tools and manuals and elsewhere.
• In terms of interaction with the field GED also needs to ensure effective experience exchange between countries and regions, as is specifically stated as a function of the CTA. Experience exchange should involve not only recognizing and sharing good experience from the country and regional level but also bringing in new ideas and information on gender mainstreaming from outside the ILO.
• The existing gender network needs to be expanded and strengthened initially by incorporating staff who have already been involved in gender mainstreaming activities under the PAs and are not recognized as part of the network.
