ILO Participatory Gender Audit: Relevance and use for the United Nations and its agencies

This publication shows how the participatory gender audit - a unique tool for evaluating and monitoring the achievement of gender equality - can support and strengthen efforts of joint UN programming on gender equality at country level, particularly in the framework of the UN “Delivering as One” process and of mainstreaming gender into the programmes, funds and agencies’ individual and collective work.
