TRANSFORM – The magazine for gender-responsive evaluation – Issue 31, September 2025 | Publications

Produced by the Independent Evaluation Service of the Independent Evaluation and Audit Services, “TRANSFORM – The magazine for gender-responsive evaluation” features UN Women corporate evaluations and meta-syntheses, along with issues specifically dedicated to gender-responsive evaluation. UN Women regularly evaluates its own work to enhance accountability, inform decision-making, and contribute to learning on gender equality. TRANSFORM uses data visualization and concise evaluation recommendations to highlight good practices and lessons learned on what works for gender equality for transformative change.

This issue of TRANSFORM features the recent “Independent corporate evaluation of UN Women’s approach to violence against women prevention and response: Navigating changes in global and regional contexts”. The evaluation assessed the relevance, adaptability, and effectiveness of UN Women’s work amid intersecting global crises, as well as the sustainability of its efforts and alignment with key partners. It also presents perspectives from UN Women’s management to the evaluation.
