  6. Evaluation of ESF 2007-2013 support to gender equality • Evidence on use of results: • European Community of Practice on Gender Mainstreaming • Expressed appreciation for this study as the information produced is extremely useful to them but they “would never be able to afford a study with such in-depth information and such an inventory”. • Formally expressed to ESF managing authorities their agreement with study’s conclusions & recommendations • Study used to design their own “baseline study”, to ensure no duplication and that it would be complementary • Use it as a complement to their “baseline study” in their lobbying efforts • Reference in their “position paper” and in presentations (e.g. to European Parliament) • Believe that their presentation to the European Parliament has influenced MEP’s recommendations on minimum requirements for gender equality objectives for the next programming period.
