Final Evaluation of Funding Leadership Opportunities for Women (FLOW 2) 2016–2020

This evaluation report presents the findings, conclusion and recommendations from the evaluation, which was conducted between September 2021 and February 2022 by a team of consultants under the management of IOD PARC.

Funding Leadership Opportunities for Women (FLOW 2) was a grant instrument of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), providing funding opportunities to civil society organisations (CSOs). It ran from 2016–2020 and invested a total of Euro 93 million to support CSOs to contribute to sustainable improvement in women’s rights and opportunities. In order to achieve this, the programme aimed to kick-start structural transformation in gender relations in institutions at the levels of the household, community, economy and governance, and to work towards a better enabling environment of standards, laws and policies.
