KEY ISSUES FOR IMPLEMENTATION

 Senior management support

 Well-equiped and well-located gender equality body

Cooperation among different categories of stakeholder

 Stakeholder involvement in planning and implementation

 Clear targets and objectives

 Flexibility and resilience

Competence development

Availability of sex-dissaggregated data

 Embedding into existing structures and management procedures

 Monitoring instruments

Evaluation

The implementation of the equality plan must be accompanied by a tracking calendar. This track should be done in the form of regular meetings, where the GEP Team would have these tasks:

  • To check the state of planned measures/ initiatives
  • To asses the responsible person, and provide them with tools, materials or guides on the initiative they will start developing.
  • To asses in re-planning the GEP, if needed.
  • To help thinking on alternative straegies if non-expected resistances or obstacles arise.

At the final stages of the project, we did a collective reflection about the keys to success and the main difficulties we found in our journeys since the beginning of the project. It was very clarifying to see that most of the RPOs highlighted similar ideas or experiences, and these lessons learnt could be useful to other RPOs in the same situation. The following pictures sum up the reflection we did sharing our experiences in our last meeting in Ljubljana:
