Is evaluation our compass to a future free from gender-based violence?
In observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the fourth Future of Evaluation dialogue will explore the pivotal role of evaluation in guiding efforts towards a future free from gender-based violence (GBV).
The discussion will focus on how gender-responsive evaluation and inclusive evaluation methodologies can drive effective interventions and ensure accountability to end GBV in all its forms, including the growing challenge of technology-facilitated GBV. The dialogue will also explore how to best leverage evaluation results to directly influence and achieve GBV policy reforms.
