comments:

GED and the CTA have primary responsibility for developing the workplan with collaborating colleagues at HQ and in the field.

challenges:

In the absence of appropriate documentation the evaluation could not provide a full appreciation of activities supported by GLO777 at HQ or field locations, or make recommendations for the future.

success:

It is clear that there has been some considerable cross-unit collaboration for gender mainstreaming under the PAs although precise data is not available. Gender mainstreaming was introduced in all targeted Outcomes

context:

A work plan for GLO777 activities appears to have been developed for the previous biennium and included support to Participatory Gender Audit; research and information; knowledge development, training and capacity building. The evaluator could ascertain whether these activities had been continued over into the biennium 2012-2013, Targetted beneficiaries: GED and all staff involved in gender mainstreaming activities at HQ and field locations under the PAs - PARDEV - Donors

description:

If the Global Product supported by the PAs is to be evaluable a full workplan needs to be developed covering planned activities at HQ level between GED and other units, as well as activities to support ‘national staff overseeing the PA at country level’ in order to ensure gender mainstreaming in planning, implementation , and evaluation’. These activities need to be complementary to activities under the Global Product supported from other funding. Information on the Global Product activities should be included in the country project documents. Global Product activities supported by the PAs need also to be fully reported upon each year and at the end of the biennium. Such reporting is essential to learn positive and negative lessons of the biennium and to plan the next steps going forward.
