Project Monitoring and Evaluation with a Gender Perspective

In this class, we will define monitoring and evaluation, their importance in projects, and how the gender perspective helps close inequality gaps, ensure equity, and improve sustainability.

In this class, we will explore how gender norms, roles, and stereotypes shape society and create inequalities. We will analyze gender gaps and how they impact people's lives, affecting access to opportunities and rights.

In this class, we will analyze the importance of understanding the context of the project in order to integrate a gender perspective into monitoring and evaluation. We will explore how to collect and analyze disaggregated data, identify key actors, and use qualitative and quantitative methods to highlight inequalities and specific needs.

In this class, we will explore how to translate context analysis into gender-sensitive objectives and strategies. We will differentiate between equality and equity, analyze how to avoid negative impacts in project design, and use CARE's Gender Continuum to define effective approaches.

In this class, we will explore how to measure the progress of a project from a gender perspective, differentiating between quantitative and qualitative indicators. We will learn to define input, process, outcome, and impact indicators, ensuring that they reflect equitable changes in access, participation, and decision-making.

In this class, you will learn how to visualize the change process, from identifying the problem to the results and long-term impact. Through a practical example, I will show you how to structure a Theory of Change in a visual and narrative outline. By the end, you will have the knowledge you need to develop your own outline, applying different writing styles to clarify the assumptions and logic of change.

In this class, you will learn how to build the Logical Framework Matrix, a key tool for project design, monitoring, and evaluation. We will explore its structure, the relationships between objectives, indicators, means of verification, and assumptions, as well as the vertical and horizontal logic that underpins it. By the end, you will have the foundations to organize your project clearly and strategically.

In this class, we will learn how to apply a gender perspective to project monitoring and evaluation. We will explore strategies to ensure inclusive analysis, from data collection to impact measurement, ensuring that our projects contribute to gender equality.

In this class, we will explore how to collect and analyze gender-disaggregated data using techniques such as interviews, focus groups, and surveys. We will identify common challenges in this process and strategies to ensure accurate and contextualized data.

In this class, you will learn how to analyze the gender-disaggregated data we collected in previous classes through interviews, surveys, and focus groups. The main objective is to learn how to identify patterns of inequality and use the data to formulate strategies that help reduce the gender gap in the projects we are evaluating.

In this class, you will learn how to effectively present and visualize gender-disaggregated data. We will explore various forms of visualization, such as tables, graphs, texts, and combinations of these tools. The goal is for you to be able to choose the best option for communicating the results of your analyses, whether in reports, presentations, or documents, and to understand how to contextualize the data with the appropriate references.

In this class, you will learn how to communicate monitoring and evaluation results from a gender perspective, ensuring that the information is accessible, inclusive, and useful for different audiences. We will explore how to present disaggregated data, use non-sexist language, and tailor communication to the target group.

In this final class, we will review the main lessons learned throughout the course and highlight the skills developed to integrate a gender perspective into project monitoring and evaluation. We will reflect on the importance of applying this knowledge in professional and community settings, and explore strategies to continue strengthening gender equity in project design, implementation, and communication.
