Programmes that treat communities as one uniform group often miss the women, girls and marginalised men whose circumstances differ most. Donors and governments now expect evidence on who benefits, who decides and whether norms are shifting, and generic dashboards rarely deliver it. Over five days you learn to build that evidence into every stage of the programme cycle, from baseline to learning review.
Sessions cover gender analysis frameworks such as the Harvard Analytical Framework and the Gender at Work approach, gender-responsive theories of change and logframes, and indicator design that goes beyond headcounts to capture agency, decision-making, time use and control over resources. You practise sex- and age-disaggregated data collection, ethical interviewing on sensitive topics, safeguarding in the field, gender markers, and the OECD-DAC criteria applied through a gender lens. The final day turns findings into reports, learning events and feedback loops that communities can act on. It suits M&E officers, gender advisers, programme managers and NGO, government and donor staff. Delivered in classroom, online and in-house formats, it ends with a CPD-accredited certificate and a draft M&E plan for your own programme.
Gender equality commitments are now written into most donor agreements, national development plans and organisational strategies, yet reporting often stops at counting how many women attended an activity. That tells a programme almost nothing about whether power, access or opportunity has changed. Without sound monitoring and evaluation, gender goals remain aspirations and unintended harm, such as increased workloads or backlash against women, goes unnoticed.
The Tracking Progress: Monitoring and Evaluation for Gender Equality Programs Training Course takes participants through the whole M&E cycle with gender at the centre. It starts with gender analysis and the logic of change, moves through results frameworks, indicators and baselines, and then covers data collection methods that respect confidentiality and consent. Later sessions examine quantitative and qualitative analysis, evaluation design, gender-transformative approaches and the use of evidence for adaptive management and advocacy.
Learning is practical. Participants work from sample programme documents drawn from health, livelihoods, education and governance work, and they leave with a draft gender-responsive M&E framework tailored to their own context, together with tools they can adapt immediately.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
