Syspons was commissioned to conduct an independent evaluation and evidence synthesis of the implementation of the WGA approach in Austrian development policy for the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (BMEIA) and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). The aim was to expand the existing knowledge base on the implementation of WGA - both in Austria and in the partner countries of Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) - and to create an evidence-based foundation for the further development of the approach as well as its coordination and effective implementation. The synthesis should also contribute to intra- and inter-institutional learning.
