Gender Mainstreaming Implementation in the Public Sector: Understanding Contextual Factors Affecting Gender Mainstreaming in the Public Sector

Gender mainstreaming is a key strategy for promoting equality. A great deal of energy and resources have been put in place for gender mainstreaming implementation. Despite the tremendous progress in policy development there is a huge gap between policy commitments and actual implementation. This book establishes the contextual factors affecting gender mainstreaming implementation in the public sector. The analysis in this book should help to shed light on contextual factors affecting gender mainstreaming implementation and should be useful to governments, government ministries and organizations as they implement gender equality in the workplace.
