Mid-term report on the implementation of the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2022–25

This document summarizes the actions taken on the basis of the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 344th Session (March 2022) on the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2022–25. It describes how the Action Plan was finalized and implemented, taking account of the recommendations of the high-level independent evaluation of the ILO’s gender equality and mainstreaming efforts in 2016–21, as adopted by the Governing Body. It also summarizes the monitoring results at the mid-point of the implementation of the Action Plan. It responds to the Governing Body’s request to the Director-General to integrate guidance from the Action Plan in pursuing the ILO’s mandate to achieve gender equality at work through a transformative agenda, taking into account the resolution and conclusions of the General Discussion Working Party on inequalities and the world of work, especially in implementing the ILO Strategic Plan for 2022–25 and the two corresponding programmes and budgets. The Governing Body is invited to request the Office to continue the implementation of the Action Plan and to report on the results to the 356th Session (March 2026) (see the draft decision in paragraph 28).
