GPPi publishes final real-time evaluation report on the Gender Standby Capacity (GenCap) Project

GPPi published the final evaluation report of the Gender Standby Capacity Project (GenCap).

The GenCap Project is a roster of senior gender advisers to be deployed on short notice to support the United Nations humanitarian country teams in mainstreaming gender equality programming across all sectors of humanitarian response. The project is accompanied by a Monitoring & Evaluation framework developed by GPPi to assess the project’s performance. The GenCap M&E project is based on a tailor-made framework which comes closest to a real-time evaluation

The final report provides an overview of the GenCap Project’s achievements related to the project’s effect on programming, the institutionalization of tools and mechanisms for gender equality programming as well as the use and quality of the GenCap roster between April 2008 and March 2009. It also presents key findings and recommendations. The first part of the final report is dedicated to a review of the GenCap Project’s operational environment. The second and part of the report evaluates the inputs, outputs and outcomes of the GenCap Project against the criteria of effectiveness, relevance and coherence.

The report marks the end of GPPi’s two year consultancy for the GenCap Project. GPPi has been selected in early 2007 to set up and pilot a comprehensive Monitoring & Evaluation framework in close cooperation with the GenCap Steering Committee and other stakeholders. Between April 2008 and April 2009, the M&E framework was reviewed and implemented in a consultative process. GPPi also trained and supported GenCap Advisers in the use of the framework.
