Step 3: Defining evaluation (sub)questions
Once the evaluation criteria have been defined, the evaluation team should develop corresponding evaluation questions. It is essential that gender-responsive evaluation questions are included in as many criteria as possible, as using a single criterion may not provide a complete picture of the situation.
Below, you can find some examples of gender evaluation subquestions in the context of the green transition, arranged by criterion.
Although these examples may be useful, it is important to note that the exact questions will depend on the type and topic of the intervention and the target groups of the evaluation.
-
EFFECTIVENESS
To what extent has the intervention reached its gender and environmental objectives? If it has, how have these objectives contributed to gender equality and environmental sustainability?
-
EFFICIENCY
Were human and financial resources allocated strategically to achieve gender equality and environment-related goals?
-
COHERENCE
Was the treatment of gender and environmental issues throughout the implementation of the intervention logical and coherent?
-
RELEVANCE
To what extent have gender and environmental considerations been integrated into the definition of the intervention’s scope and objectives, and how have these concerns been supported throughout implementation?
-
EU-ADDED VALUE
To what extent would those changes favouring gender equality and environmental sustainability brought about by the intervention have been achieved without EU support?
