Rapid Assessment of the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Joint Programme (GEWE JP) in Ethiopia

The Gender Equality and Women’s empowerment Joint Porgramme (GEWE JP) is aligned with and relevant to Ethiopia’s international commitments on gender, to the priorities and policies of the Government of Ethiopia,and to the needs of women in Ethiopia.

It is grounded in the UN Development Framework (UNDAF) for Ethiopia and relevant to the mandate of the UN agencies involved. Similarly the main donors, Sweden and Norway, hold that the programme is relevant to and aligned with their priorities.

The objectives of the programme are still valid, the activities of the programme are consistent with the overall goal and the attainment of the objectives, and the theory of change is adequate and relevant.
