Gender equality screening tool for the integration of a gender perspective in UN joint programmes

The Gender Equality Screening Tool for Joint Programmes was developed in 2022 by the Gender Thematic and Results Group (GTRG) in Albania. The tool aims to integrate a gender perspective across all components of a Joint Programme: the Programme analysis, the results framework, the M&E framework, the partnerships section and the management arrangement section. The tool was developed following the UNCT-SWAP Scorecard assessment conducted in 2019, which revealed that the UNCT Albania “met minimum requirements” in relation to indicator 2.1 on Joint Programmes’ contribution to reduce gender inequalities. The tool is currently being piloted and may be updated in the years to come based on UN-wide corporate guidance and on lessons learned gathered from the pilot phase.
