The  2025 European Commission checklist for assessing and improving the quality of a Logframe Matrix (LFM) is a concise technical self-assessment guide or reference that helps users test whether a logframe is logically structured   and aligned with  the EU’s practical  guidance,   as well as  identify gaps and   weaknesses.  By explaining the main logframe concepts   (impact, outcomes, outputs, activities, inputs, and assumptions), it shows how these elements should form a clear results chain from activities up to long-term impact.   Link to the document:  https://capacity4dev.europa.eu/library/checklist-assessing-quality-logframe-matrix_en?refgid=777   Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring #Evaluation #Reporting #Research #MEARL #social #development #humanitarian #publichealth 

While the EU has made progress in gender equality over recent decades, gaps remain, especially in the workforce. Women are more likely to be in lower paid roles and are underrepresented in leadership positions. To address this, the   European Commission   launched the  “ Gender Equality Strategy 2026 - 2030 ”  on March 5, 2026. The strategy sets out steps to improve equality in areas such as education, healthcare, and employment. It builds on the previous 2020 to 2025 strategy and the 2025 Roadmap for Women’s Rights.  This new strategy also addresses new threats such as online abuse, anti gender narratives, and risks linked to AI. More importantly, the strategy takes an intersectional approach, combines gender mainstreaming with targeted actions, and encourages men and boys to take part as partners and beneficiaries.
