Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Evaluation

The handbook aims to provide guidance to ensure that both human rights and gender equality dimensions required in the UN are included in evaluations. It was primarily designed for use in programme and project evaluations but can be adapted as a tool to support other types of evaluations carried out within and outside the UN system. Users of the handbook include evaluators and others with responsibilities for commissioning and managing evaluations, as well as programme designers to support their analysis of human rights and gender equality issues and their inclusion in programme design and M&E system.

Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Evaluation: Guidance Document

This publication was produced by the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) to serve as an in-depth handbook to guide and promote the implementation of human rights and gender responsive evaluation practices in all UN evaluations. It complements the UNEG's Handbook 'Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Evaluation: Towards UNEG Guidance' (https://unp.un.org/Details.aspx'pid=22543) that outlines practical steps on how to prepare, conduct and use HR & GE responsive evaluations. The present document deepens each of these aspects, and provides additional theoretical and applied information, tools and suggestions. The primary audience is evaluators and programme managers within and outside of the UN.
