  1. GENDER EQUALITY MARKER: ORIENTATION GEM Team: Samuel Momanyi, Noreen Khan, and Mita Gupta A SOUND FINANCIAL TRACKING SYSTEM A TOOL FOR MAINSTREAMING GENDER IN PROGRAMMES

  2. CONTEXT • Executive Board: “Develop a robust system for tracking resource allocation & expenditures on gender equality results” • UNICEF conducted a review (2009) of partner practices in the tracking of investments in gender • OECD/DAC tool: Gender Equality Policy Marker found to be a useful tool • UNDP & IASC have begun using modified versions of the OECD/DAC marker

  3. INTRODUCTION • ProMS 9.1 Release Note has been issued to COs • All COs will be expected to have developed: • Programme component results (PCRs) • Intermediate results (IRs) • Corresponding indicators • by 31 December 2010

  4. REVISED PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

  5. Purpose of the GEM • Track programme budget expenditures on gender equality in ProMS 9.1 at Intermediate Results level • Sensitize programme staff to assist in developing Intermediate Results that advance gender equality and/ or girls’ and women’s empowerment

  6. USING THE GEM It will be applied: • At the CO and RO levels. • To intermediate results that receive an allocation of programme funds.

  7. Main elements • Intermediate results and corresponding indicators • Four categories of rating

  8. category 3 = PRINCIPAL Example: • IR: Legal and policy frameworks protect girls from FGM/C • Indicators: • Prevalence (percent) of FGM/C among adolescent girls • Number of survivors of FGM/C receiving services • Number of cases of FGM/C prosecuted • Per cent of reported cases of FGM/C prosecuted • Number of court decisions on FGM/C implemented

  9. category 2 = SIGNIFICANT Example: • IR: Increased access to safe water supply, adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities for children in 500 primary schools • Indicator: • Percent of schools with separate, lockable, safe water supply, adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities for girls

  10. category 1 = MARGINAL Example: • IR: By the end of 2014, ministries, institutions and civil society organizations systematically monitor child rights to influence the implementation of national strategies, plans and programmes addressing poverty and exclusion of children and families. • Indicator: • Statistical agencies at all levels and Ministries provide data, updated and disaggregated by sex, on the situation of children and young people, in line with national strategies.

  11. Category 0 = NO CONTRIBUTION Example: • IR: By the end of 2013, the percentage of children from 60 prioritized municipalities who have not completed their primary education, has been reduced by 6 per cent. • Indicators: • Per cent of children who complete their primary education in prioritized municipalities. • Per cent of children passing their primary grades

  13. GEM IN PROMS 9.1 (2)

  14. Entering Indicators

  15. Programme Support Results DO NOT RATE

  16. Some issues to consider…

  17. This is not a word game…don’t just add ‘gender’, ‘girls’, ‘women’

  18. Give an honest rating

  19. The GEM cannot be applied to IRs without indicators

  20. For a rating of 3 or 2, indicators must measure progress towards gender equality

  21. Gender equality has to do with girls and boys

  22. Results targeting women and girls do not necessarily promote gender equality

  23. Be sure to rate all results transferred from ProMS 8.5

  24. Monitoring and Reporting Office Management Reports by Programme Component & MTSP FA: • % of planned and actual expenditure that contributes to gender equality results (rating of 2 and 3) • % of IRs with at least a significant gender equality focus • Reports to be used for monitoring at Country, Regional and HQ levels and for reporting to the Executive Board

  25. Resources • Guidance note and PPT on gender intranet site (go to Gender Marker button): http://www.intranet.unicef.org/pd/genderequality.nsf • Reports: http://158.113.15.45/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?b_action=xts.run&m=portal/cc.xts&gohome= • FAQs coming soon! (on gender intranet site)
