Since its creation in 2019, the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI) works to support countries as they build and strengthen their monitoring and evaluation eco-systems. The GEI’s overall approach is to play an implementation and support role and ensure that countries lead and own their systems strengthening processes and their outcomes. GEI and partners work in 24 priority countries around the world, with an emphasis on Africa, South and East Asia, and South and Central America. As part of the GEI, Global Affairs Canada aims to support a 3-year “Feminist Innovation in monitoring and evaluation” (FIME) Project. The FIME project seeks to capitalize on the GEI’s current strategic alliances, its ongoing engagement with various implementing and associate partners, and on its experience in addressing gender issues in monitoring and evaluation capacity building programs globally. In particular, the following activities are proposed with the intention of optimizing limited resources, setting realistic goals, and producing concrete results. This aims to ultimately strengthen GEI’s overall products and services. The work is undertaken through 3 main components: - Component 1: Bringing gender-transformative practices to the GEI Network - Component 2: Foster and share innovation in gender-transformative monitoring and evaluation practices - Component 3: Facilitating access to feminist products, tools and professionals
