Step 3: Implement and monitor the gender equality action plan
After developing and adopting a gender equality action plan, proceed with implementation and monitoring. Make sure to implement and monitor your plan simultaneously, as these processes are interrelated.
The exact steps to implement and monitor your plan should already be established at this stage. If this planning has not yet occurred, go back to Step 2 for further guidance.
To facilitate the process of implementation and monitoring:
-
provide support to groups (with responsibilities for implementation) to carry out the measures outlined in the plan;
-
increase gender equality competence in parliament to deliver the measures outlined in the gender equality action plan;
-
continuously raise awareness on the gender equality action plan to increase engagement;
-
develop progress reporting procedures and tools for the groups that will implement the measures in the plan;
-
compile, analyse, discuss and disseminate the findings of the progress reports.
