Gender-responsive assessment, monitoring and evaluation of SSR processes seeks to:

• identify differences between men, women, girls and boys' security needs, and experiences of SSR processes
• respond appropriately to these differences
• recommend improved (gender-responsive) SSR policies, programmes and practices
• identify appropriate gender-responsive indicators and processes for monitoring and evaluating how SSR programmes and practices impact differently on women, men, boys and girls
• improve overall performance in SSR programmes and practices
