Programs can use process and outcome evaluations to better understand whether they achieved their intended results (outcome) and the how and why behind the results (process). This enabling environment is facilitated through public policies, institutional practices, and gendered representations, among other elements.Īt the same time, gender-transformative approaches must be carefully evaluated to ensure they are actually achieving gender transformation and improving health and social outcomes in a given environment. Importantly, gender-transformative approaches foster an enabling environment beyond individuals to address the systems and structures that uphold and replicate inequitable gender dynamics and unequal power relations. Gender-transformative approaches create and leverage opportunities to examine, question, and shift restrictive norms and power imbalances. Restrictive social and gender norms and power imbalances negatively impact the ability of people to access information, resources, and services and attain their full potential for health and well-being.
