Recommendation 5

5 Accepted Paragraph: 36

BII's tracking of gender lens achievements and other key metrics remains inadequate.

Conclusion
We do not find BII’s approach to tracking gender lens achievements to be dynamic or suitably stretching to achieve greater development impact. Performance monitoring of key metrics to track other key indicators is also absent from BII’s strategy and public reporting.
Government response summary AI-generated
The Government agrees BII should promote gender equality and target under-represented groups, noting BII’s existing 2022-26 Strategy, 2X Criteria, and BOLD framework for diversity finance. It commits to ensuring gender, development impact, and environmental and social outcomes are a specified feature of future portfolio and investment evaluations.
