Summary

The Office of Independent Evaluation's (OIE's) Guidelines for Gender-Responsive Evaluations provide practical guidance on integrating gender equality into all stages of the evaluation process - from planning and design through to reporting and use. Drawing on internationally recognised frameworks from UN Women and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), the guidelines support evaluation commissioners, evaluators, and Bank units in ensuring that OIE evaluations reflect the Caribbean Development Bank's (CDB's) commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment. The document covers evaluation criteria, methodological approaches, team composition, data collection practices, and communication standards, and includes ready-to-use tools and sample evaluation questions.
