Monitoring and Evaluation

Resettlement plans should be monitored at two levels: (i) by project authorities (internally and externally) and (ii) by the community through the participation of affected persons and NGOs.

Key Issues

• Indicators for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) should include gender-specific questions and indicators. M&E should be done jointly by project authorities, external monitors, and the community.

Key Questions

• Do the M&E indicators include issues of women’s livelihood restoration, safety, habitability, and other issues addressed in this checklist?
• Are the appointed agencies gender sensitive?
• Is the budget sufficient to address gender issues?
• Is the M&E baseline gender inclusive?
• Have appropriate mechanisms been developed for participatory monitoring and are women included?
• Are gender issues included in the terms of reference of supervisory consultants?

Key Strategies

• Promote participation of women in planning, design, and implementation of M&E.
• Ensure that the institutional mechanisms set up at both the level of the project authorities and the community include women in the team.
• Ensure that M&E include specific inputs from women.
• Ensure that community-based mechanisms have proportionate representation of women.
• Include gender in the terms of reference of consultants.
• Ensure that implementation of gender aspects is reviewed and reported by staff undertaking review missions.
