How do you measure that? Tools to better measure gender transformative change

Measuring gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment is an ongoing learning journey. Feminist MEAL (monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning) is a critical piece of gender transformative programming. This interactive virtual symposium examines tools for measuring gender equality and empowerment, and practical learnings from their application.

During this symposium, you will:

• Gain a better understanding of these tools and how they can be used in your work
• Have the opportunity to share your tools and methods used in your gender transformative programs
• Participate in discussions about the varying experiences, challenges and opportunities faced in the application of these tools and methods

This session is presented by: CARE, Global Affairs Canada, MEDA, Mercy Corps and Oxfam Canada. You can watch the recording here:
