Between 2015 and 2022, UN Women implemented the Men and Women for Gender Equality (MWGE) programme across four ‘Phase I’ countries (Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine) and then an additional two countries in ‘Phase II’ (Jordan and Tunisia).

This brief summarises the key lessons from this vanguard regional programme developed through an evaluation from Itad.
