Project: ICT Empowerment of Women’s Voices in Haiti
Evaluation Date: May 2018
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Evaluation Date: March 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

One of the most positive aspects of the project was its implementation in remote marginalized rural settings of Haiti. A real success was the emergence of women leaders and future candidates from sectors of the communes that were so deprived that at the time of project launch no services were in place and there had been no civic education for women democratic action.

Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The gender mainstreaming approach had an excellent multiplier effect. Women participants went on to raise the awareness of men of women’s rights, so that they in turn could raise awareness among other men. This resulted in a high degree of ownership among the beneficiary populations.

Lesson Learned:

The project should have included a phase for consolidation of its achievements. This would have helped provide sustainable and real opportunities for women to have a presence in public life. This could have been through an institutional partnership with all pertinent government institutions that participated in the project and should have involved continued social mobilization raising collective social awareness.

Lesson Learned:

Through the activities of the project, rural women’s capacities to lobby for results were increased. The use of technology to achieve lobbying outcomes was innovative and efficient, leading to direct benefits in the five target communities. The project was relevant and facilitated the establishment of dialogue between grassroots organizations and local authorities. The implementing agency also efficiently managed high-level outputs remaining within the project plan. Many now believe that the fight for their rights is legitimate and must be done through dialogue so they can have a better impact both in the private and public sphere.
