Outcome TZA_O_2

A strong culture of results-based management, reporting, knowledge management and evaluation

Results & Contribution: Internal and partner capacities on RBM have continued to be strengthened, RBM capacity of staff and that of over 20 responsible parties is now improved because of training and field hands-on monitoring and coaching which were conducted during the year under review. UN Women Monitoring and Evaluation team continued to provide technical backstopping to existing and new Implementing partners and supported them in delivering the expected results, including Results Based Management. One notable example of initiatives that contributed to the improved RBM capacity of responsible parties was the capacity building training which aimed to improve the capacity of UN Women partners on Results-based monitoring and reporting. The training provided an opportunity and platform for the partners to build their capacity on Results Based management, which will guide them in their reporting as well as monitoring their project implementation. It was also a time for partners and UN Women to take stock of the best practices and their implications for future implementation. The training took place from November 28th to 29th, 2022 at the Hotel Verde Zanzibar-Azam Luxury Resort and Spa, which is located at Malawi Road, Mtoni – Unguja Zanzibar. The participants comprised members from civil society addressing women-related issues, non-governmental organizations, people with disabilities, and representatives from the various Ministries in the Public Service. There is however needed to support the implementing partners to develop comprehensive M&E systems, especially for data analysis and setting up effective accountability structures in reporting. This will be continued throughout the implementation of the next SN. Moreover, donor reports have been submitted and cleared, contributing to the improvement which was identified as an organizational priority. The CO commissioned 2 evaluations in the year 2022, the Country Portfolio Evaluation covering SN 2017-2022 and the final evaluation of the Wanawake Wanaweza II (WWII) Project. The CPE has been finalized, and management responses and action points were developed and uploaded into the UN Women GATE system. The evaluation of WW II is in the final stages, but findings and recommendations from the two evaluations have been used in the development of the new SN and will continue to inform programming priorities going forward. Evidence: Consultancy report. Contribution: UN Women provided technical support for the RBM training. RBM training reports and mission reports are uploaded at the activity level.
