Gender responsive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for health programs, interventions, and reforms
The purpose of monitoring and evaluating health programs is to track and support progress toward intended reforms and reach intended beneficiaries, as well as to assess whether intended outputs and outcomes have been achieved2. As a result, it is important that health programs, interventions, and reforms proactively address gender inequalities, and that monitoring and evaluation of these efforts track whether, and to what extent, the desired success is being achieved. If we do not measure gender inequality, we will not be able to address it.
