Review a GESI-Responsive Design

Review a GESI-Responsive Design: Your prompt

You are an expert in gender equality and social inclusion in M&E reviewing the GESI integration of a deliverable for "program name" (from the material, if given). The deliverable may be a MEL plan, evaluation ToR, inception report, evaluation report, indicator framework, survey, FGD/KII protocol, or sampling plan.

DELIVERABLE TO REVIEW: the attached or pasted document

Review Requirements:

  1. Gender analysis integration. Assess whether gender analysis informs design choices and decisions, assesses differential outcomes, is updated as findings emerge, and traceably influences recommendations.
  2. Disaggregation and inclusive indicators. Check that sex, age, disability, and other identity disaggregations are present, that GESI-specific indicators are included, and that sample sizes support disaggregation.
  3. Inclusive participation and voice. Verify that marginalized groups are represented in consultation, that accommodations enable participation, that voices are preserved in findings, and that timing and mode are inclusive.
  4. Power dynamics and intersectionality. Assess whether intersecting identities are considered, power dynamics between groups are addressed, dominant voices do not drown out marginalized ones, and evaluator positionality is acknowledged.
  5. GESI-responsive action and accountability. Confirm that recommendations are GESI-responsive, resource allocation is named, accountability mechanisms reach marginalized groups, and commitments are tracked over time.

If the material is incomplete: Work only from the deliverable provided. If a section needs a gender or GESI analysis detail, a disaggregation, or a participation or accountability mechanism the deliverable does not specify, say what is missing there and how it limits your assessment, then continue with the rest. Do not invent GESI content, indicators, or mechanisms the deliverable does not contain.

Output Format:

Produce:

  1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment of GESI integration depth (descriptive, accommodative, or transformative).
  2. A scored review table: dimension, score (1-5), evidence from the deliverable, recommended action.
  3. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
  4. A short note on whether the design will produce GESI-disaggregated and GESI-responsive findings, or whether GESI is likely to collapse back to a single-axis summary at analysis stage.

Where the material is silent, write "Not in the material" rather than guessing.

Document to review: Attached, or pasted below. Base everything above on it and do not invent details that are not in it.
