In 2014, the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will conduct a thematic evaluation of the contribution of UNDP to Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE). The frames of reference for the evaluation will be the UNDP Strategic Plan (2008 – 2013) and the Gender Equality Strategy (2008 – 2013). As the second Evaluation Office exercise dedicated to the theme, this evaluation will assess the overall performance of UNDP in mainstreaming gender and the organization’s contribution to development and institutional change in gender equality and women’s empowerment.
This Request for Proposals covers the contract commissioning a Development Results Team (the offeror) to support the IEO in the implementation of a discrete component of the GEWE thematic evaluation.
