Background
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides support to Member States’ efforts and priorities in meeting their gender equality goals and for building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
In line with UN Women Global Strategic Plan (2018-2021), and its Country Strategic Note (2019-2022), in Turkey UN Women works towards three overarching goals: 1) Women lead, participate in, and benefit equally from governance systems. 2) All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence 3) Women and girls contribute to and have greater influence in building sustainable peace and resilience and benefit equally from the prevention of natural disasters and conflicts and humanitarian action.
Towards these goals, UN Women implements programmes and projects that aim to advance gender equality, improve women’s access to opportunities, rights and services in political, social and economic life and combat gender stereotypes, discrimination and violence, as required by international and national legal and policy commitments. UN Women collaborates with numerous partners – central and local level government authorities, civil society organizations, including women’s organizations and platforms, academia, private sector companies, other UN agencies. It commits itself to the Leaving No One Behind principle, by supporting targeted actions to remove the obstacles that marginalized and vulnerable groups of women face in accessing their rights and to promote them as agents of change.
“Gender Equality in Political Leadership and Participation in Turkey” Project (2014 – 2020) is implemented by UN Women Turkey Office and the Project is generously funded by the Embassy of Sweden through Swedish International Development and Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The Project aims to contribute to women’s increased leadership and political participation in Turkey by focusing on key stakeholders and actors working in the field of women’s political participation. UN Women manages the programme implementation jointly with InterParliamentary Union (IPU). IPU is responsible for the implementation of activities targeting members of the Turkish Parliament under the oversight UN Women.
The expected outcomes of the project are formulated as follows:
Outcome 1. Legal frameworks and policies to advance gender equality and women’s right to participate in decision making are reformed/adopted and implemented
Output 1.1 Enhanced parliamentary capacity to develop and monitor the implementation of legal frameworks and policies that promote gender equality
Output 1.2 Improved access of the parliament to gender equality related knowledge products and tools to formulate and monitor the implementation of gender responsive legal and policy frameworks
Outcome 2. Women’s leadership and participation in politics is promoted by gender responsive measures (parliamentary mechanisms, processes and services)
Output 2.1 Strengthened capacity of the Committee on Equality of Opportunity for Women and Men (EOC) to ensure Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) adopts policies, legislation and procedures that promote gender equality and women’s empowerment
Output 2.2 Strengthened capacity of Parliament to enhance women’s increased participation in politics, including in leadership positions
Output 2.3 Strengthened capacities of newly elected municipal council members in gender equality issues, the staff in equality units in municipalities, and potentially women community leaders.
Outcome 3. Legal frameworks and policies to increase women’s leadership and political participation are influenced by gender equality advocates
Output 3.1 Strengthened dialogue mechanisms and enhanced policy space to enable gender equality advocates and civil society to promote gender equality and women’s political participation?
Output 3.2 Strengthened capacity of gender equality advocates to promote gender equality, women’s leadership and political participation
The Project has a diverse range of beneficiaries and stakeholders. The Committee on Equality of Opportunity for Women and Men of TGNA, the Strategy Development Department of TGNA, women candidates and women municipal councilors at selected provinces and selected municipalities are the primary beneficiaries of the project. The members of TGNA, professional staff of other parliamentary committees and bodies which have direct or indirect responsibilities for mainstreaming gender equality within legislation and parliamentary work including the parliamentary secretariat, legislative experts, as well as other professionals providing support to the members of parliament carrying out their legislators’ mandates and responsibilities are the secondary beneficiaries of the project. In addition, the municipality staff who benefit from the gender responsive budgeting initiatives and university youth at selected provinces who receive gender responsive media trainings are the secondary beneficiaries of the project.
There are also indirect beneficiaries which would include broader spectrum of political stakeholders, particularly leadership of political parties, as well as gender advocates from civil society both at national and local level, gender experts from academia, media personnel and broad public to be targeted by awareness raising efforts.
As indicated in Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Plan of the Strategic Note 2018-2021 of the UN Women Turkey Country Office, a final evaluation with a special focus on lessons learnt will be conducted towards the end of implementation period of the “Gender Equality in Political Leadership and Participation in Turkey” Project. The main purpose of this final evaluation is to assess the programmatic progress and performance of the above described project considering the following evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness, impact, organizational efficiency, coherence, human rights and gender equality and sustainability. The evaluation will not be able to fully assess the programme’s performance, as some activities will still be ongoing when the evaluation takes place.
The findings of the evaluation are meant to contribute to effective programming in the organization and to refine future organizational approaches to women’s political participation in Turkey. The evaluation process aims to foster organizational learning and accountability, and to inform the overall implementation of the Strategic Note of the UN Women Turkey Country Office for the period 2018-2021. It will also be a key input to knowledge management on women’s leadership and participation into politics as well as gender responsive planning and budgeting. The findings of the evaluation will moreover be used to engage policy makers and other stakeholders at local and national levels in evidence-based dialogues and to advocate for increasing women’s leadership and political participation at both local and central level as well as for developing gender responsive plans and budgets both at local and national level.
Targeted users of the evaluation include the project beneficiaries; the members of the EOC of the TGNA, the women parliamentarians of the TGNA, SDD of the TGNA, the government counterparts at local and national levels, CSOs as well as the programme’s responsible party – IPU, donor – Embassy of Sweden, UN Women Turkey Country Office’s staff, other UN agencies, donor community and development partners present in Turkey.
The evaluation should also provide specific recommendations as to the priority areas that should be considered to inform future programming in this area in Turkey. This would include interventions that require continued support, successful interventions for expansion, and recommendations on prioritizing interventions to maximize impact. It should also define recommendations to improve project management and maximize ownership by partners/beneficiaries in the country.
Please refer to the detailed Terms of Reference for Final Evaluation of the Project “Gender Equality in Political Leadership and Participation in Turkey.
EVALUATION SCOPE and METHODOLOGY
• Scope of the evaluation
The final evaluation of the “Gender Equality in Political Leadership and Participation in Turkey” Project will be conducted in the final stage of its implementation and will cover the period from to 15 December 2014 to 31 August 2020. The evaluation is scheduled between September 2020 and December 2020. The evaluation includes one data collection mission to Ankara and up to three additional selected programme locations in Turkey (in total duration of 8 days to Izmir, Gaziantep, Mugla and Samsun).*
* It is initially assessed as data collection in the field. However, considering the current movement limitations, this might need to be revised. This will be discussed and agreed during the inception phase and methodology will be revisited accordingly if alternative data collection methods will finally need to be considered. The selected provinces might change during the inception period, as well.
• Evaluation methodology
The evaluation will be a transparent and participatory process involving relevant UN Women stakeholders and partners in Turkey. The evaluation will be based on gender and human rights principles and adhere to the UNEG Norms and Standards and Ethical Code of Conduct and UN Women Evaluation Policy and guidelines.
The evaluation is a final project evaluation and both a summative approach focusing on capturing the lessons learned during the implementation and assessing the achievement of the results at output and outcome levels, as well as a formative, forward-looking approach assessing the applicability of the results will be employed. The evaluation methodology will furthermore follow a ToC approach and employ mixed methods including quantitative and qualitative data collection methods and analytical approaches to account for complexity of gender relations and to ensure participatory and inclusive processes that are culturally appropriate. Methods may include but are not limited to:
• Desk review of relevant documents such as project and programme documents, progress reports, financial records, meeting minutes and monitoring reports, and secondary data or studies relating to the country context and situation
• Semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, surveys with UN Women Turkey office staff, direct and indirect beneficiaries, implementing partners, government partners, donor and other stakeholders
• Field visits to and observation at selected project sites
Data from different research sources will be triangulated to increase its validity. The proposed approach and methodology have to be considered as flexible guidelines rather than final requirements, and the evaluators will have an opportunity to make their inputs and propose changes in the evaluation design. The methodology and approach should, however, incorporate human rights and gender equality perspectives. It is expected that the Evaluation Team will further refine the approach and methodology and submit a detailed description in the inception report.
Comments provided by the Evaluation Reference Group (ERG) and Evaluation Management Group (EMG) are aimed at methodological rigor, factual errors, errors of interpretation, or omission of information and must be considered by the evaluators to ensure a high-quality product. The final evaluation report should reflect the evaluator’s consideration of the comments and acknowledge any substantive disagreements.
Considering the mandates to incorporate human rights and gender equality in all its work and the UN Women Evaluation Policy, which promotes the integration of women’s rights and gender equality principles, these dimensions will have a special attention in this evaluation and will be considered under each evaluation criterion.
It is expected that the evaluation team will develop an evaluation matrix the areas they refer to, the criteria for evaluating them, the indicators and the means for verification as a tool for the evaluation. Final evaluation matrix will be validated by EMG and approved in the evaluation inception report.
EVALUATION GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND PROCESS
• Evaluation governance structure
A twofold evaluation governance structure for the evaluation will be established. An Evaluation Management Group (EMG) comprising of senior management of UN Women, Evaluation Task Manager and Programme manager will be established to oversee the evaluation process, make key decisions and quality assure the different deliverables. In addition, the evaluation will be quality assured by the UN Women Regional Evaluation Specialist for the ECA region, who is a member of the UN Women Independent Evaluation Service. Designated UN Women focal point who has not been involved in direct management of the programme, will serve as the evaluation task manager responsible for the day-to-day management of the evaluation and in enduring that the evaluation is conducted in accordance with the UN Women Evaluation Policy, United Nations Evaluation Group Ethical Guidelines and Code of Conduct for Evaluation in the United Nations system and other key guidance documents.
The establishment of an Evaluation Reference Group (ERG) will facilitate the participation of the key stakeholders in the evaluation process and will help to ensure that the evaluation approach is robust and relevant to staff and stakeholders. Furthermore, it will make certain that factual errors or errors of omission or interpretation are identified in evaluation products. The reference group will provide input and relevant information at key stages of the evaluation: inception report, draft and final reports and will support UN Women with the dissemination of the results.
• Phases of the evaluation process
The evaluation process has five phases:
1) Preparation: gathering and analysing programme data, conceptualizing the evaluation approach, internal consultations on the approach, preparing the TOR, establishment of the Evaluation Management Group (EMG) and the Evaluation Reference Group (ERG), stakeholders mapping and selection of evaluation team.
2) Inception: consultations between the evaluation team and the EMG, programme portfolio review, finalization of stakeholder mapping, inception meetings with the ERG, review of the result logics, analysis of information relevant to the initiative, finalization of evaluation methodology and preparation and validation of inception report.
3) Data collection and analysis: in-depth desk research, in-depth review of the programme documents and monitoring frameworks, in-depth online interviews as necessary, staff and partner survey/s, and field visits.
4) Analysis, validation and synthesis stage: analysis of data and interpretation of findings and drafting and validation of an evaluation report and other communication products.
5) Dissemination and follow-up: once the evaluation is completed UN Women is responsible for the development of a Management Response to evaluation recommendations within 6 weeks after the final approval of the evaluation report, publishing the evaluation report, uploading the final evaluation report on the UN Women GATE website and the dissemination of evaluation findings amongst key stakeholders.
