This article briefly presents the Women’s Empowerment Effectiveness Reviews and their short history, then focuses on five key areas where the approach has presented limitations. Acknowledging that there remains room for improvement, the project has also been a major step forward for Oxfam’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning practice. Through this critical reflection, we aim to share some learning to date.
