...this Gender Mainstreaming Strategy for the Employment Sector has been developed
with the aim to ensure that gender equality is fully integrated into all our technical work
related to formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of employment policies,
programmes, and other actions. This Strategy provides a framework to ensure that gender
analysis and planning are introduced into all of our activities. It also provides the basis for
better monitoring and impact assessment of gender mainstreaming in the Sector's outputs,
especially those at the national level.
