Recommendation: Evaluation Recommendations for ASRO on Project Design (4-5): 4. Since there has been a surge of women NGOs in the last several years, it would be very useful for UN Women to map these CSOs as to have better knowledge on who is doing what and who would be best suited in involving in future projects. 5. Future projects should consider having a multidisciplinary team of government partners as to reinforce each other?s gender equality activities in government. This is also of particular importance since the SMOWA is limited in executing its mandate because it does not have the authority of a full ministry and functions with a constrained budget.
Management Response: UNWomen Iraq programme is in agreement with the recommendations and is ensuring that UNWomen has a database on NGOs working on gender issues. In the past year UNWomen has built strategic partnership with different ministries such ministry of interior and ministry of human rights to make sure that they?re involved in UNWomen projects.
