  1. Challenges in M & E for Gender Programmes PankajShrivastav UNIFEM South Asia Regional Office, New Delhi

  2. Overview - Issues in Gender Evaluations • Lack of agreed definitions of gender equality outcomes • Deep rooted and invisible values, attitudes and behaviour • Deep methodological and conceptual issues • Frameworks for capturing social change and transformations – work in progress

  3. Methodologies for capturing subjective issues objectively • Example - M & E for the Domestic Violence Act • The court relies on evidence of physical abuse and desertion. • What are reliable indicators of emotional and sexual violence? Issues • Need for the right mix of qualitative and quantitative tools • Need for structural changes to ensure that data is captured – e.g. data from shelter homes is missing

  4. Methodologies for capturing stigmatised issues • Perceptions of Stigma by women living with HIV • Stigma related to discussion on Domestic Violence • Stigma related to sexual harassment in work place Issues • Reliable indicators?

  5. Methodologies for capturing changes in social attitudes and behaviour • Example – Campaigns • Domestic Violence – Bell Bajao Campaign Issues • How do you establish that changes in attitude and behaviour have taken place in areas like domestic violence? • When does the campaign effect fade out? How long you monitor? Did we get what we wanted with the money we spent?

  6. Methodologies for capturing invisible issues • Economic contribution of women – e.g. Home Based Work • Non-monetised / invisible work – e.g. care of children Issues • Unrecognised areas – hence need for more research on the nature of contribution
