Abstract
Tras aprobarse la estrategia de mainstreaming de género en la IV Conferencia Mundial de la Mujer de Naciones Unidas (Beijing, 1995), la igualdad de género ha ido tomando cada vez más peso como un elemento clave que incluir no solo en la fase de diseño y formulación de las políticas, sino también en su evaluación. A este respecto, en las últimas décadas diferentes propuestas teórico-metodológicas se han ido desarrollando en materia de evaluación e igualdad de género. Esta nota de investigación persigue contribuir a la literatura y práctica emergente sobre evaluación de políticas de igualdad de género. En concreto, a partir de una revisión de la literatura existente sobre evaluación y género, reflexiona sobre qué implica evaluar el éxito y cómo hacerlo en estas políticas concretas. Los resultados ponen sobre la mesa la pertinencia de definir el «éxito» de dichas políticas y los criterios específicos de evaluación de las mismas, de modo contextualizado y negociado. Asimismo, sugieren la utilización de diversas herramientas —desarrolladas en el campo de las políticas de género y de la evaluación— para captar la complejidad del cambio en materia de igualdad de género.
After the gender mainstreaming strategy was approved at the 4th World Conference on Women of United Nations (Beijing, 1995), gender equality has been increasingly recognized as a key element to be included not only in the phases of policy design and formulation but also in the evaluation. In this regard, for the last decades different theoretical-methodological proposals have been developed for evaluation and gender equality. This research note aims at contributing to the emerging literature and practice on evaluation of gender equality policies. Specifically, based on the review of the existing literature on evaluation and gender equality, it reflects on what does assessing success mean and how to do it in the case of gender equality policies. The results show the relevance of defining success of this kind of polices as well as the specific criteria to evaluate them, in a contextualised and negotiated way. The results also suggest using several methodological tools -developed in the field of gender equality policies and evaluation- in order to capture the complexity of the change in gender equality.
