Gender and protection expertise
TANGO evaluations ensure inclusion of voices from the most vulnerable and marginalized stakeholders, assessing protection and accountability to affected populations. TANGO has solid experience assessing the extent to which humanitarian and development programs effectively incorporate and execute protection principles per global standards. This entails ensuring that assistance is delivered and utilized in safe, accountable, and dignified conditions. Protection principles are particularly relevant for programming that targets or includes the elderly, orphans and vulnerable children, people with disabilities, and people living with HIV and AIDS.
TANGO incorporates a gender and social inclusion (GESI) lens in all assessments and evaluations. Recent work on gender issues include a multi-year commitment evaluating programs that focus on empowering chronically food insecure rural women in India, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Mali, Malawi, Ghana, and Ethiopia (2012-2016). In 2015, TANGO completed a baseline study for a program to enhance the rights of urban women and promote gender equity across regions of Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The study focused on marginalized women e.g., female sex workers, domestic workers, and migrants. TANGO also evaluated joint World Food Program/United Nations High Commission for Refugees (WFP/UNHCR) refugee programs in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda that looked at security issues and gender-based violence (2011-2016).
