Project Design Stage An Evaluation of a Nursing Station Project 

(HGDG:Box 6. GAD checklist for designing project)

In assessing the design of a nursing station project through the lens of gender and development, the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) Project Template provides a comprehensive framework. This evaluation ensures that gender equality goals are integrated into the project’s planning and implementation. The table below summarizes the project’s alignment with these guidelines, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

Here is the completed table for assessing a nursing station project using the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) Project Template:

TOTAL GAD SCORE—PROJECT DESIGN STAGE


Explanation:

  • Element and Guide Questions: Lists the key elements and guide questions for the project assessment.
  • Done?: Indicates whether the element is not done (2a), partly done (2b), or fully done (2c).
  • Score for Item/Element: Assigns scores based on the response: 0 for No, 0.5 or 1.0 for Partly, and 2.0 for Yes.
  • Results or Comments: Provides additional context or observations about the project based on the assessment.

Total GAD Score Calculation:

  1. 4.0 Gender Equality Goals, Outcomes, and Outputs: 2.0
  2. 5.0 Matching of Strategies with Gender Issues: 2.0
  3. 6.0 Gender Analysis of Likely Impacts of the Project: 0.67 (6.1) + 0.67 (6.2) + 0.67 (6.3) = 2.01
  4. 7.0 Monitoring Targets and Indicators: 2.0
  5. 8.0 Sex-Disaggregated Database Requirement: 2.0
  6. 9.0 Resources: 1.0 (9.1) + 1.0 (9.2) = 2.0
  7. 10.0 Relationship with the Agency’s GAD Efforts: 0.67 (10.1) + 0.67 (10.2) + 0.67 (10.3) = 2.01
