Gender M&E

There are many different programs and organizations that address gender inequalities, or gender-related health and development issues. In many cases, evidence is lacking to assess which programs are effective in reaching their goals and serving the intended populations. Integrating gender into monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is an important step towards understanding the effectiveness of these programs and health outcomes for women and girls and for men and boys.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Define what gender M&E is and why it is important to health and gender programming. 
• Describe how gender can be integrated into health program M&E.
• Explain the difference between sex-disaggregated indicators and gender-sensitive indicators.
• Provide examples of gender considerations in data collection, data interpretation, and data use.
• Identify specific tools and resources to further support gender M&E.
