Lesson
The framework for a program’s data management system should be put in place before its start to measure the achievement of targets and beneficiaries and (the ambitiousness of goals should be balanced against the availability of data and capacity to quickly augment granular data collection. Although the government has increased its focus on gender equality and has made efforts to strengthen gender data tracking, data disaggregated by sex and age of end recipients were often not available at the time of program preparation and monitoring.

Lesson
More formal and comprehensive systems, supported by the TA, are needed to track and validate compliance with gender-based performance targets. The first two subprograms were classified effective gender mainstreaming, and subprogram 3 was classified gender equity as a theme. Explicit targets were set to prioritize women in multiple areas, including entry into labor activation programs and training, and covering both job seekers and government staff. Yet, tracking was less than robust and required significant follow-up to evaluate program performance.

Lesson
It is crucial to systemize the collection and dissemination of gender-disaggregated data to facilitate the conduct of gender analysis and mitigate women’s vulnerability through more effective targeting of state resource allocation. A substantial number of performance indicators under this program had specific gender targets, which ensured that the government delivered on its commitment to gender equity and gender action plans. This is important because women are usually disproportionately affected by the impacts of crises.
