Innovations in Gender Transformative Evaluations: Experiences and learnings from South Asia, Brazil, Mexico and South America
Panel Discussion
About the Event
Four examples illustrate innovative gendered and equitable evaluative practice and knowledge generation. In Brazil, evaluators used social innovation theory to investigate the role of women leaders for gender transformation. In Mexico, evaluators used the Gender Perspective, a diagnostic evaluation to transform and improve public policies, and projects and evaluation practice. South Asian evaluators discuss effective and contextually relevant evaluation practices to address masculinity and patriarchy. And finally, an innovative methodological tool assessed gender equality practices in four women-led private companies from four South American countries.
