Human Rights and Gender Equity need special attention while evaluating interventions, as they add valuable principles like equality, inclusion, and non-discrimination to evaluations. As a result, they need to be mindfully integrated into evaluations (UNEG, 2011). UNICEF’s Human Rights and Gender Equity Evaluation criteria are primarily based on the OECD DAC criteria, but given their neutral nature (UNEG, 2014), also deliberately integrate human rights (HR) and gender equity dimensions (GE) into evaluations. A brief overview of the criteria can be understood from the diagram below (UNEG, 2014, p. 79):
