USAG PAYS A COURTESY CALL ON DVLA
The institutional Gender Action Plans (GAPs) are roadmaps for the Public
Services
Commission (PSC) and the Selected Entities (SEs) to operationalise the
findings and
recommendations from the gender policy implementation gaps identified during
the
Rapid Institutional Gender Gap Assessment (RIGGA). Specifically, the GAPs
elaborate
elements of the systems, processes and practices related to the 11
performance areas
that PSC and SEs must emphasise as they mainstream gender. A scorecard will
track
changes within PSC and SEs through an assessment by an Independent
Verification
Agency (IVA) which will use a participatory process to arrive at a score;
the
expectation being hat each entity will score at least 70%.
The GAPs and scorecard have been developed through an extensive and
inclusive
process which involved leadership and personnel of PSC and SEs, as well as
the
Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) and
stakeholders. Key
documents that underpin the GAPs are the international, national and
institutional
gender equality instruments including the Convention on the Elimination of
all Forms
of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs),
the ILO Conventions, the Constitution, National Gender Policy and gender
policies of
the entities.
