ABSTRACT

Gender monitoring is difficult to implement, either because of the lack of gender analysis technical capacity in the field, and/or because of lack of time and budget, and/or because of lack of commitment. (Common Facts, categorical statement that can be tested as ‘true’ or ‘false’.)
However, the recent closer attention paid to monitoring has provided an opportunity to mainstream gender monitoring into the whole project monitoring scheme. (The first hint of argument: there is solution for problems or another perspective possible.)

This paper introduces one approach to overcome some of the difficulties faced while highlighting gender aspects in monitoring and maximize the benefit gained through monitoring. (What the paper wants to do: to introduce solution, to introduce different perspective, to introduce whatever, etc.)

The paper first discusses why gender monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is needed, and what constitutes gender M&E. Subsequently, the proposed case-based gender process monitoring scheme is introduced, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.
(The steps of paper disposition, step by step.)
The suggested case-based gender process monitoring builds on Mosse’s (2001) process monitoring and the “most significant change” technique of Davies and Dart (2005). (The external sources/ideas used to support the paper’s intention or argument. In this case the source of the concept used, which is “case-based gender process monitoring.”)

It [=paper] relies on stories that are collected in the field, and through discussion of the cases, is aimed not only to collect information for monitoring but also to improve the gender analysis capacity of the project staff. (Explanation of the concept of case-based gender process monitoring especially how it works, its advantages, etc.)
