This is because no common framework was developed to measure gender results as such, despite the fact that the GES contains examples of gender-explicit indicators and highlights the objective of UNDP contributions to gender-responsive results. The evaluation was also limited by the lack of UNDP’s systematic collection of sex-disaggregated data and specific indicators for GEWE that are collected in the same way over time. This made it problematic to obtain a picture of overarching trends across all UNDP country offices, from which sampling and validation could take place.
