| Summary: | Community-development development (CDD)
programs require monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to tell
those implementing and funding the programs whether they are
on track to deliver, or have delivered, desired outcomes
such as improved services, economic activity, and
empowerment. The objective of this toolkit is to provide
practical guidance to World Bank EAP operational task teams
and other CDD practitioners (i.e. government/non-government
organization (NGO) staff) on how to measure the gendered
impact of CDD operations. First, this is necessary because
CDD program reviews have found that gender indicators are
not widely used. Second, several governments in the East
Asia and Pacific (EAP) region have identified gender as an
important pillar in poverty alleviation strategies, in the
light of evidence suggesting that societies promoting more
equal opportunities for men and women have higher growth,
lower poverty, and better development outcomes. Third,
gender mainstreaming is a critical facet of World Bank
policy and programs. Fourth, as this toolkit demonstrates,
it is straightforward to add gender indicators to a results
framework. It involves disaggregating some of the indicators
that will already be in the results framework by gender, as
well as adding a limited number of specific gender
indicators. This toolkit takes CDD practitioners and other
interested readers through the necessary steps to identify
where to track gender in the results framework, as well as
suggesting possible indicators. This toolkit is organized in
three sections: section one set out why gender matters for
CDD mentoring and evaluation (M&E); section two provides
an introduction (and pointers to further reading) on M&E
topics that the non-specialist will find useful when
constructing gender indicators. This includes a generic CDD
results framework structure that provides convenient
categories for incorporating gender M&E indicators;
section three uses these categories to provide examples of
indicators (and other evidence) from the EAP region and
illustrates how gender M&E can be added to CDD program
results frameworks. |
