Gender Focal Points

ASSESSMENT/Gender Analysis
What is the nature of the problem? How does it
affect men and women? Set a gender vision
based on the gender analysis
EVALUATION
How do I know the strategy is
working? How do I judge if the
intervention is making a difference
for men and women as planned?
IMPLEMENTATION/MONITORING
How do I know activities are being
implemented as designed, including
for men and women as needed? Are
participatory monitoring methods
implemented? Are the different
needs of men and women
addressed efficiently and
effectively?
STRATEGIC PLANNING
What objectives should we pursue to
address this problem? How would
they differ for men and women?
Define a gender-sensitive results
framework, including gendersensitive indicators
DESIGN
What strategy, interventions and
approaches should we use to achieve
these priorities? Are there appropriate to
the address the needs of men and
women? This includes M&E
M4|GBV Programming,
a management strategy focusing on
performance and achievement of results
(which are defined as) intended or
unintended, positive and/or negative
outputs, outcomes and impacts of a
development intervention

Country Level Output: “Increased access to and control
over land by rural women”
• Quantitative indicator:
“Number of rural women with land registration certificates in
their names”
• Qualitative indicator:
“Level of productivity of land that is owned and controlled
by rural women”
Specific: it should be clear and
understandable, not broad and vague
Measurable: you should be able to
determine whether or not it was
accomplished
Attainable, yet a stretch — you should
be able to accomplish it, but it should
not be so easy, for e.g. if most trainees
would already have that skill
Relevant: it should be relevant, for
e.g. to the training needs identified
Time-bound: it should be
accomplishable within a certain time
frame, for instance the end of the
training, or next month
BE GENDER SMART
• Use gender specific
language, where
possible and appropriate
• Avoid exclusionary
terms
• Disaggregate by sex
and age
• Use participatory
approaches with men
and women of various
ages for indicators
development and data
collection for monitoring
• Measure the gap between men and women;
• Measure the different roles, responsibilities and access to
resources of different members of society;
• Gauge progress towards achieving gender equality goals;
• Require data to be disaggregated by sex, age and other
variables;
• Require a gender analysis of data;
• Encourage the integration of gender equality issues from
the planning of a policy, programme or project right through
to implementation, monitoring and evaluation;
• Demonstrate the impact of changes in power relations
between women and men.
