The current lack of monitoring and evaluation of impact of interventions on gender-related outcomes, and consequent absence of evidence to support gender-responsive programming, has made it difficult to make the case that programming must consider the needs of men and women in conflict, conflict prevention, peacebuilding and statebuilding (Anderlini, 2011). It has also made it difficult to understand the channels through which initiatives may affect gender equality in conflict affected and fragile contexts. (Justino et al., 2012). In addition to the lack of studies on impact of interventions, there is also limited understanding of what impact should look like. Discussion, research and evidence are much needed here.
