Overview
IOS carried out an Evaluation of the UNESCO Global Priority Gender Equality, which assessed implementation at Field Office level. 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 reporting tools for gender equality, particularly at the Field Office level given their key role as drivers and implementers of the Global Priority Gender Equality. The evaluation also recommends clearly communicating UNESCO’s strategic vision around gender equality as a global priority in order to further leverage strategic partnerships and act as a convener and knowledge broker in the national/regional contexts on gender issues.
