Independent Cluster Evaluation of UNCTAD support to ‘Capacity Building on Trade and Gender – Online Training’
Overview
In trade, women often do not benefit from the same opportunities as men and trade policies designed without taking into account gender-specific outcomes can contribute to the widening of gender gaps. In order for gender equality to be achieved, policymakers, academics and civil society activists must incorporate gender considerations in their trade-related work. Nevertheless, the reduction of the gender gap is often hindered by a knowledge gap. In response to this, UNCTAD has implemented a cluster of projects on ‘Capacity Building on Trade and Gender’ involving the creation and delivery of teaching packages through an online platform. The evaluation aimed to inform future collaboration between UNCTAD and the Government of Finland, and focused on the period between 2015, coinciding with the delivery of the first course, and 2020, therefore covering 13 of the 14 courses delivered to date. However, the evaluation is also concerned with the catalytic effects of the funding on action towards gender equality by UNCTAD’s Trade, Gender and Development Programme, UNCTAD as a whole, and its partner and beneficiary organizations in the field. As such, the most recently delivered course and the current project underway, which will see the delivery of two further courses, were also of interest and were considered when making assessments under some of the evaluation criteria. The projects were assessed using standard DAC evaluation criteria and using the Kirkpatrick model of training evaluation, which sees training outcomes as a four-level sequence of emotional reaction, learning, behavioural change, and impact on the organization. The evaluation was conducted between 22 March and 17 June 2021.Report Details
