Women in Power and Decision Making - Good Examples in the Eastern Partnership Countries (Annex to the Study Report)

18 April 2016

The present Annex covers objective 6, i.e. Part B of the Women in Power Study and Decision Making in the Eastern Partnership Countries 2015, which entails the collection, identification and recommendation of Good Examples. The goal of objective 6 is to collect good examples relative to promoting women’s participation in connection with the strategic objectives formulated in Beijing’s Platform for Action, Area G: Women in Power and Decision Making, across the European Partnership (EaP) Countries. Good Examples can take various forms: they can directly affect women’s participation in political or corporate life, such as through quotas, or have an indirect effect such as a well thought-out plan for child-care, which may lead to a greater participation of women in the labour force or to a greater presence in public power positions.

EU and EaP stakeholders of different sectors who are involved in the design and implementation of gender mainstreaming strategies in organisations, institutions and administrations, will find in the Good Examples below support to effective approaches based on available and already tested strategies. Good Examples can help EU Member States and EaP governments in their knowledge building and information exchange processes.

This Annex is the deliverable of the second phase of the Study and has been finalised after the approval of the final Study Report – this is why it is presented as a separate document.
