Page 41 - Pocket Guide to Gender Equality under the UNFCCC

in its Guide on Gender Mainstreaming. ENERGIA has created a manual for gender mainstreaming, focused on supporting organisations working in the energy sector to introduce gender mainstreaming at different organisational levels, to be used both internally and externally. This tool is titled Mainstreaming Gender in the Energy Sector.Another tool developed by ENERGIA, the “participation and decision-making tool” was also identifed by the UNFCCC because of its usefulness in encouraging and implementing collaboration with local women’s groups or organisations, which in turn would encourage an increase in awareness and outreach to women locally, especially women who might otherwise be unaware of these options for participation. Collaboration with women’s organisations on a local level is vital if key stakeholders are to be included within processes.Rather than a specifc tool, UN Women utilises the “SMART” approach for monitoring and evaluating programmes – emphasising how indicators need to be specifc, measurable, accurate, relevant, and time-bound. UN Women also supports and encourages the use of guidance developed by the UN Evaluation Group, which created a document titled Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Evaluations. UNIDO has also created an Evaluation Group Guide, which includes a guide for integrating gender into evaluation.
