The toolkit for integrating gender into monitoring and evaluation has been developed to assist project task teams, borrowers and partners to recognise and address gender concerns in designing rural development sector projects. It aims to monitor progress in gender integration during implementation and to evaluate its impact in achieving overall rural well-being. This document provides general guidelines for integrating gender into monitoring and evaluation and thematic briefs on rural sub sectors.
The authors highlight how it is important to consider the design and appraisal of projects and to ensure that the activities planned reflect the project’s gender sensitive goals and objectives. Guidance is then given on how to proceed through the project cycle bearing evaluation methods in mind. Thematic briefs include:
- agro enterprise development
- agricultural knowledge and information systems
- forestry
- livestock development
- rural finance
- sustainable agriculture and natural resource management.
