UN Women’s partners implementing programmes for Ending Violence against Women (EVAW) yesterday recommitted themselves to producing quality results-based reports on field-level programmes and activities to better inform partners and the people of Liberia.
Speaking at the end of a day-long refresher session on quality and results-based reporting, representatives of the ten implementing partners in attendance applauded UN Women for strengthening their knowledge and pledged their readiness to producing better reports that will highlight success stories and demonstrate impact of the interventions on rural women.
“I want to appreciate the UN Women for this training. It has broadened our minds, especially in reporting. Hereafter you will see some significant changes in our work,” said Delphin Morris, Programme Manager at Women in Peacebuilding Network (WIPNET). Sister’s Hand Liberia Programme Officer, Alpha M. Kamara, said: “This training has nurtured our reporting and success story writing skills. We will now report better to ensure that the people of Liberia are well informed of what we are doing to end violence and harmful practices against women and girls.”
Addressing the participants, UN Women Liberia’s EVAW Programme Technical Specialist, Ms. Deodata Mukazayire, encouraged the partners to make results-based reporting central to their monthly, quarterly, and annual reports. “I encourage you to always write your regular reports whether monthly, quarterly or annually in line with the principles of results-reporting, taking into consideration that timely, quality, results-based, and impactful accounts are central ingredients” to the reports.

The objective of the refresher training was to strengthen the results-based reporting capacity of UN Women Liberia’s EVAW Pillar partners implementing both the Women Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) and Spotlight Initiative. This implies a shift from the usual activity-based reporting to results-based reporting at output, outcome and impact levels, which will help improve respective reports.
