2. Preliminary gender audit report with methodology, list and breakdown of interviewees and focus group participants, findings, initial recommendations, and copies of all tools used. The preliminary report (of approximately 25 pages, including an executive summary and excluding annexes) will be circulated for feedback amongst relevant partners. The preliminary report with the findings should be vetted with relevant stakeholders through a validation workshop in Phnom Penh, for which a succinct PowerPoint presentation will be prepared (containing approximately 20 slides).

Final gender audit report and action plan that includes findings with high level strategic recommendations to inform MoEYS- preparation of the next capacity development master plan from a gender equity perspective; and specific and practical recommendations to contribute to the formulation of the work plan for CDPF Strategic Outcome 5 concerning gender equitable leadership.
