This report presents the findings of an independent Evaluation of Gender Mainstreaming in UNDP, undertaken in 2005. The main purpose was to take stock of UNDP's efforts to develop and implement gender mainstreaming policies and to assess the overall performance of UNDP in gender mainstreaming and the promotion of gender equality in the last ten years. The evaluation is primarily forward-looking, responding to corporate concerns to increase the effectiveness of the organization's gender mainstreaming policies and strategies.
