How can evaluation accelerate rights, justice, action, for all women and girls?
In observance of the International Women's Day on 8 March 2026, the eighth Future of Evaluation dialogue explores how evaluation can move beyond measurement to actively accelerate rights, justice, and transformative action for all women and girls in an increasingly complex and unequal world.
The session will examine how feminist, rights-based, and participatory evaluation approaches can challenge structural power imbalances, make invisible inequalities visible, and strengthen accountability for gender-responsive policies and programmes. Bringing together evaluators, policymakers, activists, and practitioners, the dialogue will reflect on how evidence can be mobilised in real time to inform decision-making, amplify women and girls’ voices, and support intersectional approaches that leave no one behind.
