Abstract:
This article reflects on the implementation of a diagnostic study carried out to
understand the gender responsiveness of the national monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
systems of Benin, South Africa and Uganda. Carrying out the study found that the potential for integrating the cross-cutting systems of gender and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are strong. At the same time, it highlighted a range of challenges intersecting these two areas of work. This article explores these issues, which range from logistical to conceptual.
