an unexpected result (positive or negative) that should be explained (e.g., gender
differential results). [Note also that assessments and evaluations, like any procurements,
should integrate gender considerations, i.e., composition of the assessment team,
ensuring that gender issues are identified and included in the scope of work, and
collecting disaggregated data.]
