Forward Looking Evaluation of Gender Mainstreaming in UN-HABITAT

Attachments

This evaluation assesses the achievements of the UN-HABITAT Women and Habitat Programme (WHP) and Gender Unit regarding women's empowerment and gender mainstreaming.

The lessons learned aim to enable the Gender Mainstreaming Unit and UN-HABITAT as a whole to improve gender mainstreaming in general and define tangible objectives and goals for gender mainstreaming, together with success criteria and practical gender-related outputs.

The evaluation was carried out through desk studies, e-mailed questionnaires, interviews and field visits to Ecuador and Tanzania, with stakeholders including UN-HABITAT staff, former Project officers, beneficiaries of UN-HABITAT projects and UN-HABITAT partner organisations.
