Evaluation of gender mainstreaming in UNDP

Evaluation supported under the partnership agreement between Norad's Evaluation Department and UNDP.

During the last decade UNDP has put in place a number of policies and strategies to mainstreaming gender. However, UNDP has not systematically and effectively implemented a gender mainstreaming approach. Progress has been hindered by a lack of comprehensive measures, capacity, and proactive leadership from management. For successful mainstreaming, UNDP requires strong long-term commitments from senior management, consistent efforts and dedicated resources.
