332nd Session of the ILO Governing Body

Results of the implementation of the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2016–17, and outline of the subsequent ILO Action Plan

This paper summarizes the implementation results of the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2016–17 and sets out the proposed elements for the subsequent ILO Action Plan, including several new indicators along with revised ones contained in the UN-SWAP 2.0. The Governing Body is invited to provide guidance on the finalization and implementation of the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2018–21, including with respect to monitoring and reporting. It is also invited to request the Director-General to take into consideration its guidance in pursuing the ILO’s mandate to promote gender equality in the implementation of the ILO Strategic Plan and the corresponding programme and budgets, and in facilitating extra-budgetary resources (see the draft decision in paragraph 23).
