Tool 6: Evaluating gender equality as a horizontal principle

This tool will help you in these two tasks:

  1. assessing the impacts of your intervention on gender equality,
  2. assessing to what extent the intervention mainstreamed gender in the design, implementation and monitoring process.

Gender equality as a horizontal principle

Applying gender equality as a horizontal principle means adopting a gender perspective throughout the policy or intervention cycle and treating gender equality as a cross-cutting goal.[1] It requires the elimination of gender inequalities, the promotion of equality between women and men through targeted measures, and the implementation of gender mainstreaming throughout the preparation, monitoring, reporting and evaluation of an intervention.
