Gender Scorecard Narrative Report 2014  

The “UNCT Performance Indicators for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment” (Gender Scorecard) is a globally standardized rapid assessment of the effectiveness of UN country level gender mainstreaming processes. Designed by the UN Development Group (UNDG), the exercise conducted in Jordan in December 2014 enables the assessment of how well gender has been mainstreamed throughout the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) cycle. The UNDAF drew on the 2011 Comprehensive Analysis (CA), which engaged UN and partner agencies in Jordan in a consultative participatory process to identify and analyze development challenges, as well as an assessment of UN comparative advantage in Jordan. The timing of the Scorecard assessment was designed to provide inputs into the coordination mechanisms around the revised framework.
