This research study is jointly commissioned by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and UN Women and aims to assess how gender equality programming (GEP) has or has not contributed to improved humanitarian outcomes. Canada’s support to this initiative expects to help refine the Inter-Agency Standing Committee's (IASC) approach to GEP, inform calls for increased accountability among stakeholders, and contribute to the broader collection of evidence on humanitarian outcomes.

Outputs: Collection of qualitative and quantitative data of where gender equality programming has or has not led to improved humanitarian outcomes; development of monitoring matrix against which gender-specific outcomes can be measured; and collection of data, lessons learned and good practice of gender equality programming in humanitarian situations. Immediate outcomes: Improved understanding of how gender equality programming contributes to improved humanitarian outcomes; improved ability of humanitarian actors to monitor and assess gender-sensitive humanitarian outcomes throughout the programme cycle; and improved ability of humanitarian actors to design gender-responsive humanitarian interventions.
