Key conclusions from Equality for Women… Conclusions of chapter 2—see p. 79  Expanded set of indicators adds information (and value)  Rapid progress in expanding women’s capabilities, with some notable exceptions: o Enrolment rates, completion rates, literacy are success stories o Less progress on under five mortality, adolescent pregnancy and teenage births  Comparison of country performance to regional benchmarks is quite useful

Increase national and international agency capacity to collect, report, analyze and use gender-disaggregated data:  Provide technical assistance to improve existing national surveys  Support data collection by national statistics offices on formal and informal employment in selected countries (joint with UNSD)  Support global gender statistics networks

 A results monitoring and evaluation framework has been prepared  A baseline portfolio review is being completed  A GAP mid-term evaluation will be completed in 2009 to review the overall direction, framework, strategies and processes used to implement the GAP  A final evaluation will be conducted after the GAP is completed (2011).
