  1. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
expand all collapse all

  • What are the Generation Equality Action Coalitions?

    The Generation Equality Action Coalitions (ACs) are a collection of six multistakeholder partnerships on gender equality focused on catalyzing concrete collective action to deliver game-changing results for girls and women. Transformative and measurable commitments are at the heart of the Action Coalitions’ ambition to drive accountability and impact. 

    The AC commitments take the form of financial support for the realization of results on gender equality; advocacy that amplifies and mobilizes support for transformative change; policy change that supports gender equality and women’s empowerment, particularly in the context of a government, company or organization; and scalable programming which delivers on services, research and other actions that support gender equality. In addition to the commitments, each Action Coalition has identified a core set of numeric targets which will be used to assess the impact of the Action Coalitions’ work. To learn more, see the Action Coalitions Global Acceleration Plan report.

  • Are the AC Targets part of this open consultation?

    No, the AC targets as outlined in the Action Coalitions Global Acceleration Plan report were agreed through a separate consultation process and launched at the Generation Equality Forum in Paris last June 2021. Only the Global Indicator Framework for the monitoring of the AC Targets is currently under review. 

  • How will accountability of the Action Coalitions be ensured?

    The accountability framework for the Action Coalitions will include four core elements: 1. Reporting on the implementation of commitments; 2. Assessment of progress towards the targets and sub-targets set by each Action Coalition under the Action Coalition blueprints; 3. Assessments of the extent to which Action Coalitions lead and reflect transformative processes; and 4. Stories of impact focused on demonstrating how the Action Coalitions, individually and together, have advanced concrete change but also where greater efforts are needed. This current consultation is focused on area 2: Monitoring of Targets. Separate consultations and processes are planned for the other three areas. 

  • How was this initial list of indicators developed?

    The list of indicators proposal contains suggestions for global indicators for monitoring the targets of the 6 Action Coalitions (AC) based on earlier consultations with relevant stakeholders, inputs from the AC thematic leads, relevant international agencies and other entities/technical experts with relevant knowledge about existing data sources.

  • What happens after I have submitted my inputs/responses?

    Once the indicator proposal consultation deadline is reached, all responses will be collated and analyzed based on the criteria outlined in point 4 of the instruction section above. Full list of contributions will also be made public on the Generation Equality Action Coalitions Forum website. Final proposal Indicator Framework will be posted on the Generation Equality Action Coalitions Forum website in late January 2021.
