While the governance portfolio has several GEN2 projects, few have activities and results that are gender responsive. Most contributions and results obtained by UNDP under this Outcome are gender targeted or gender blind according to the GRES scale.163 Although projects paid attention to the number of women involved in project activities, there is no evidence of the use of differentiated approaches adapted to the needs and interests of women, or for the equitable distribution of benefits, resources, status or rights. Nor is there evidence of more strategic work aimed at modifying cultural practices, values or power structures that perpetuate gender inequality and discrimination and the exclusion of women from decision-making. The ‘Strengthening Human Rights CSOs in La Moskitia’ project developed an agenda of priorities in seven specific areas, with 30 indigenous and Afro-Honduran women. The ‘Combos’ project incorporated a gender approach to the analysis carried out using the SDGs Combo tools for the formulation of three public policies. UNDP also supported the Academy of Women Parliamentarians, an initiative led by NDI, although there is only evidence at the level of activities. The results are very limited and are fundamentally based on the participation of women in project spaces and activities, and women’s participation in Congress remains low, at below 30 percent. UNDP has also started supporting SEDIS in the development of a gender strategy to incorporate a gender approach in policies, programmes and social projects as a means to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in Honduras. This initiative is closely aligned with the UNDP programme priority in UNDAF 2017-21 to promote the participation of women in national public life.164 In addition, UNDP supported SEDIS in developing an action plan to target women during the pandemic. Of the seven projects in the portfolio of outcome 40, two of them, InfoSegura and Spotlight, include actions which aim to obtain gender responsive results. Those interventions are aligned with United Nations commitments in UNDAF 2017-21 for the prevention of violence against women.165 UNDP has generated knowledge through studies and analysis on gender-based violence and femicide, including the recent ‘Analysis of institutional capacities for the generation of information on violence against women and girls and femicide in Honduras’. This study documented existing data in the country, identifying gaps in monitoring and capacity, to guide potential future interventions with institutions from the justice and security system, but has limited use at local level.
