Through the Gender Integration and Technical Assistance II (GITA II) task order’s technical support to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Hub (GenDev)’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning team, Banyan Global developed a checklist for incorporating ethical considerations within MEL processes for GBV programming. The checklist ensures that MEL processes are survivor-centered and adhere to principles of do-no-harm and outlines steps and information from planning, methodology, and design to data collection, analysis, and publication. Implementing Partners can use this when developing Activity Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning Plans (AMELPs), Standard Operating Procedures, and data collection tools.

The Job Aid is based on the USAID Collective Action to Reduce Gender-Based Violence (CARE-GBV) Addendum to the Toolkit for Monitoring and Evaluating Gender-Based Violence Interventions along the Relief to Development Continuum.
