TRANSFORM – The magazine for gender-responsive evaluation – Issue 29, October 2024

Produced by the Independent Evaluation Service of the Independent Evaluation, Audit, and Investigation Services, “TRANSFORM – The magazine for gender-responsive evaluation” features UN Women corporate evaluations and meta-syntheses, along with issues specifically dedicated to gender-responsive evaluation. UN Women regularly evaluates its own work to enhance accountability, inform decision-making, and contribute to learning on gender equality. TRANSFORM uses data visualization and concise evaluation recommendations to highlight good practices and lessons learned on what works for gender equality for transformative change.

This issue of TRANSFORM features the “Corporate evaluation of UN Women’s support to gender statistics 2018–2022”. UN Women’s work on gender statistics is aimed at supporting the production, availability, and utilization of gender statistics to meet the ambitions of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to “Leave No One Behind”. This independent corporate thematic evaluation assesses the relevance and effectiveness of UN Women’s gender statistics portfolio, the efficiency of financial and human resources, and the sustainability of its interventions. The evaluation provides key recommendations for improving this area of work.
