Th is  is designed to help both NGOs and UN agencies by providing practical guidance on tracking, assessing, and reporting GBV-related indicators in a more consistent way. Understanding that organizations have varying levels of M&E capacity, the toolkit focuses on simplicity and usability. It allows teams with limited technical resources to collect and analyze data effectively, using manual methods or basic Excel spreadsheets, without needing complex databases or advanced systems.  Therefore, y ou can use this toolki...

Second, the evaluation process must be   shaped  by these intended uses, with all methodological and procedural decisions aligned to support them .  Since UFE emphasizes specific users and practical app...

Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) is a foundational commitment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Therefore , I would like to share the LNOB assessment framework  as an overview  in the document below.   It includes five key factors and their intersectionality, as outlined in UNSDG and UNDP publications.   Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring #Evaluation #Reporting #Research #MEARL #social #development #humanitarian #publichealth 

If you want to learn more about gender budgeting and the tools used in this area, this is a helpful resource. It can also support the development of tools tailored to different country contexts.   This step-by-step toolkit from the   European Institute for Gender Equality   (EIGE)  offers practical guidance and examples from EU Member States to help those responsible for managing EU funds   integrate gender considerations into budgeting  so that investments promote equality and better reflect women’s lived realities.
