Evaluating the Sustainable Development Goals with a “No one left behind” lens through equity-focused and gender-responsive evaluation

The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance on how to integrate an equity-focused and gender-responsive (EFGR) approach to national evaluation systems that should inform national Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) reviews. This guidance is intended to support national evaluation systems on how to integrate EFGR evaluations to inform the national reviews of SDGs. The guidance is expected to primarily serve national evaluation systems, the UN system, multilateral and bilateral development agencies, academic institutions, including specialized research centres and think tanks, private foundations, the private sector, and voluntary organizations of professional evaluators.
