Expected results:   Not yet available; This will be defined in the partial actions for each partnership.

Results from previous phases:  

The previous phase covered the overall mandate of the Gender Unit, including knowledge management, advise, thematic quality, and support to strategic partners / policy dialoge. The new phase will focus on the latter part only. Selected key results are:

Learning processes, products (gender toolbox), events and trainings on several topics have ben realised. This resulted in better integration of gender into programmes, annual reports. But there is still room to improve know how transfer and results for more transformative change.

Collaboration with strategic partners generated some tangible results: More competent women activists in peacebuilding and climate change, their leadership in policy dialogue and in progress monitoring of policy implementation. But, future contributions need more focus and scale in key strategic areas instead of scattered small contributions.

Increased efforts in contributing to global/national policy processes, a.o. global platforms, action coalitions, co-chairing donor working groups, with inputs to strategic review processes of the FDFA.
