How can you make a difference?
Scope of Work:
UNICEF Country offices are required to go through a Gender Programmatic Review (GPR) at least once in a programme cycle either in preparation for a new Country Program Development (CPD) or at the time of a Mid-Term Review. The current CPD for the Ethiopia Country Office (ECO) will come to an end in 2025 and the office has initiated the design of a new CPD. Hence, the ECO plans to conduct a gender programmatic review to identify new or strengthen existing gender priorities in the country programming in line with the Gender Action Plan 2022–2025, Strategic Plan 2022–2025 as well as national priorities and strategies for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Guided by UNICEF’s GPR Management and operations Guide, the process covers the following four steps:
- Step 1: Analysis of the nine gender results in the GAP within the national context, leading to prioritization of a subset of gender results to address in programming, based on national relevance and priorities, the CO’s ongoing work, and available financial and human resources. The analysis and prioritization should also apply to UNICEF’s programming in humanitarian and displacement settings.
- Step 2: Identification of the root causes of gender-inequitable outcomes underlying the set of gender priorities selected in Step 1, using in-depth gender analysis (such as causal analysis).
- Step 3: Development of programmatic response – solutions, outputs, and indicators to track progress; assessment of resource requirements; and availability of expertise and partnerships for programming.
- Step 4: Documentation of findings and agreements in a GPR report – including gender priorities, interventions, indicators, and resources – for eventual integration into key country documents (CPD, action plan/gender strategy, etc.).
