Task brief : Monitoring and evaluation programme of the African plan of action to accelerate the implementation of the Dakar and Beijing platforms for action 2000-2004

Abstract

Policy framework into government policies, programmes and structures. To obtain baseline data, it will focus on evaluating the status of women 10 years since the adoption of the Dakar and Beijing Platforms for Action and then compare the change registered over another 10 years, collecting data perhaps at 5-year intervals. Meaningful evaluation of impact will be preceded by the development of an appropriate tool for measuring change in the status of women. The tool will consist of a set of impact indicators that can be applied to measure change in any of the 12 critical areas of concern. They can be used for periodic and more comprehensive assessment of change that should be reported through regional and global conferences.
