Evaluation of SDC’s Performance in Mainstreaming Gender Equality
“This report is an evaluation of SDC's gender equality work. The team looked at a sample of projects in Mozambique, Pakistan and the Ukraine, as well as examining the organizational systems that support SDC’s efforts in this area. There are three major elements in SDC’s gender equality work: mainstreaming gender equality through gender analysis and appropriate follow-up in all projects and activities; projects targeted specifically to enhance gender equality (usually but not always targeted to women and their organizations); and activities to promote women’s advancement and equal opportunity within SDC. The evaluation looked at a wide range of projects, including humanitarian and long-term development projects in different sectors, as well as donor-harmonized activities and policy work.“
