Gender Mainstreaming In Peacekeeping Operations ... - Resdal

Selection Criteria
Six criteria were used to identify best practices. A best practice
needed to have:
• Had a significant impact on the overall environment,
having resulted in a positive and sustainable change in
women’s and girls empowerment and rights which was
relevant to the country context;
• Demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency in setting and
achieving gender-related objectives through effective
application of resources;
• Been based on repeatable procedures that have proven
themselves over time for large numbers of people;
• Been considered to be innovative, creative and original;
• Made use of partnership for successful learning and
capacity development; and
• Been informing the experience from the beginning.
Meeting each of these criteria was not mandatory, but best
practices had to meet a majority of them in a meaningful way. A
few potential best practices - newer initiatives that have not yet
met a majority of the criteria or had a measurable impact - have
also been identified where appropriate.
