The framework is easy to understand and apply

Programming staff relate well to the programming

language

The format needs improving, sentences simplified, good

translation, and clearer coding definition

The GAM M helps with overall monitoring process and

improves programming

GAM can be applied across all sectors

In terms of support, would like:

Short practical guidance on how GEMs are implemented (real

examples)

Training, access to people with understanding of gender

equality programming to discuss

Cluster coordinators to contextualize and prioritize gendered

issues and priorities

Cluster coordinators to monitor progress to address gendered

issues
