FIT's Approach to Evaluating Gender Equality in Short-Term Innovation Projects
Gender Evaluation Framework for Innovation
FIT developed a Gender Evaluation Framework for Innovation (GEFI) to capture whether and how FIT (programmatically and through funded SMOs) has advanced gender equality and empowered women and girls. The GEFI was developed to evaluate FIT-funded SMOs who have tested innovative solutions that aim to advance gender equality in short testing timeframes (less than 15 months).
This framework had two objectives: (1) to evaluate if SMOs could advance gender equality and empower women and girls during their testing projects, and (2) to assess where SMOs showed progress in their gender equality outcomes and strategies.
