Overview
The first evaluation of UNFPA support to gender equality and women’s empowerment (2012-2020) assesses the organization’s efforts around gender mainstreaming and its performance on the dedicated gender equality outcome area, throughout the past nine years, covering three strategic plan cycles. The evaluation covered the institutional systems and processes, integration of gender equality across programming areas, and dedicated contributions to gender equality. The evaluation also assessed contributions to policy, legal frameworks, civil society engagement, shifting social norms, engagement of men and boys, and specific outputs related to gender-based violence and harmful practices. The evaluation covered UNFPA's support at the country, regional, and global levels.
