In 2022 the UNDP Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) conducted the Fiduciary Management and Oversight Group (FMOG) Survey on the Funding Compact Commitment 14 targeting inter-agency pooled funds. This commitment is composed of 12 features (well-articulated strategy, clear theories of change, etc.) that are an integral part of each inter-agency pooled fund and that seek the use of pooled funds in an efficient and effective manner in order to galvanize collective action towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The survey includes gender-related questions covering issues such as the use of the gender equality marker (GEM), the establishment of the minimum 15 per cent allocation to programmes with gender equality as their main objective or other financial targets. This publication highlights the main findings of the FMOG survey concerning gender-related issues in Multi-Partner Trust Funds (MPTFs) and Joint Programmes (JPs).

The meta-analysis consisted of a sample of 24 evaluations purposively selected from a population of 330 evaluations on the UNEG website found after a search for the keyword “gender”. The sampling frame was a mix of the main types of gender-related evaluations on gender strategies, policies and programmes implemented in the period from 2017 to 2022 with a main focus on results. The sample is representative of the different types of entities reporting to the UN-SWAP, and the analysis is divided into two parts: the focus and the quality of the evaluation; the evaluation results.
