Overview
IOS carried out an Evaluation of the UNESCO Global Priority Gender Equality, which assessed implementation both within the Organization and in its programmes. The Evaluation team included colleagues from both IOS Evaluation and Audit units. The Evaluation concludes that much has been achieved through gender mainstreaming and gender-specific programming. In order to improve future results, UNESCO should invest in more consistent planning and reporting tools for gender equality, as well as systematic monitoring, evaluation and learning lessons. The Evaluation also recommends clarifying and strengthening the gender equality architecture and culture, as well as collaboration and communication, and continuing to develop UNESCO as a gender-responsive organization and gender-friendly model workplace
