Training on Gender-Sensitive Monitoring and Evaluation Practices
Course Overview
In today’s development landscape, effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) goes beyond measuring outputs — it requires assessing equity, inclusion, and impact. Gender-sensitive M&E ensures that programs, policies, and interventions consider the experiences, needs, and outcomes of all genders, enabling more inclusive and impactful results.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge to design, implement, and analyze gender-sensitive M&E systems. Participants will learn how to integrate gender perspectives into monitoring frameworks, collect and interpret gender-disaggregated data, and use findings to inform program design, enhance accountability, and support evidence-based decision-making.
Through interactive sessions, practical exercises, and real-world case studies, the course strengthens participants’ ability to:
- Develop gender-responsive indicators and evaluation tools
- Conduct gender-sensitive data collection and analysis
- Report findings to inform policy and programmatic improvements
- Promote equity and inclusion in program design and implementation
By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to embed gender considerations into M&E practices, improving program outcomes, stakeholder engagement, and policy relevance.
