H3. Gender mainstreaming

Strategic objective H2 of the BPfA is focused on the integration of a gender perspective into all areas of policy, legislation, programmes, and projects – i.e. gender mainstreaming. The extent to which countries implement gender mainstreaming within government is measured by indicator H3, which comprises four sub-indicators. The last of these (H3d) is an extension to the officially adopted indicator that, taking note of the 2015 OECD recommendation on gender equality in public life, considers the involvement of independent gender equality bodies in the mainstreaming of gender issues across all areas of policy. The four sub-indicators are:

  • H3a: Status of government commitment to gender mainstreaming
  • H3b: Gender mainstreaming structures and consultation processes (governmental)
  • H3c: Commitment to and use of methods and tools for gender mainstreaming
  • H3d: Consultation of independent bodies

Important note: due to changes to the questions used to populate the indicators, the data prior to 2021 are not comparable through time. Data for 2021 and 2024 are considered comparable (see 2024 methodological report).

In particular, indicator H3 was extended in 2021 to take into account the inputs of independent gender equality bodies. The sub-aggregate H3gov (code H3_TOT_GOV) covers only the sub-indicators dealing with governmental inputs (H3a to H3c) and offers closer alignment with the officially adopted indicators.

Labels for each of the indicators and sub-indicators show the maximum score possible and how this has changed through time.
