The Federal Performance Management Office in Austria is responsible for promoting gender equality and performance management in the federal government. It works to establish gender equality objectives and indicators in the budget and coordinates efforts across ministries. Challenges include improving gender-related data collection and increasing accountability, but it aims to continue publishing performance reports and supporting cultural change through training and quality assurance.
The document discusses gender equality efforts at the Council of Europe (CoE). It notes that the CoE has solid standards on gender equality, resources dedicated to the issue through a Gender Equality Commission and secretariat, and involves stakeholders. The CoE also has a Gender Equality Strategy that takes a dual approach of specific measures and mainstreaming gender across all areas. The document then examines gender sensitivity in parliaments and the judiciary, noting tools used by the CoE to address obstacles women face in accessing justice and achieve more gender balance in decision-making roles. It concludes that success requires a holistic approach and combating gender stereotypes, while threats to women's rights are growing.
The document discusses gender equality and women's empowerment in the European Commission. It outlines that gender equality is a fundamental human right and is important for good governance, social justice, democratic development, and poverty reduction. The EU has several policies and programs to promote gender equality, including the Gender Action Plan (GAP) I and II. GAP II focuses on ensuring women's rights and empowerment in three thematic areas: physical and psychological integrity, social and economic rights, and participation. It also aims to shift institutional culture within the EU to more effectively deliver on gender equality commitments. The DG Neighbourhood and Enlargement works to promote gender equality as part of the EU enlargement and neighborhood policy.

The document discusses future challenges and strategies for the Schengen area. It notes the economic crisis in the EU has increased unemployment, including among immigrants. It aims to maintain social rights and free movement while addressing issues like integrating immigration policies. Restrictive policies in some states are problematic. The challenges include advancing the EU's legal immigration framework, addressing immigration as a long-term reality, and balancing short and long-term labor market needs against restrictive policies. Public opinion in the EU generally does not see immigration as a top problem either. Net migration is a main driver of EU population growth, with the largest immigrant populations in Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, and France.
Global value chains have changed international trade by connecting manufacturing processes across many countries. Over 450 million people participate in global value chains, through which up to 80% of global economic activity occurs. There are existing international standards and guidelines to protect workers' rights in global value chains, such as UN declarations and ILO conventions. However, implementation of these non-binding standards remains a challenge. Some countries have begun establishing national laws and plans, such as Germany's National Action Plan for Business and Human Rights, to provide binding frameworks for corporate respect of human rights in global operations and supply chains. However, a monitoring found that less than half of large German companies had fully implemented human rights due diligence, indicating more progress is still needed. There
Mexico has taken steps to mainstream gender across its public policies, with initiatives like collecting sex-disaggregated data through surveys, establishing a national time use survey, implementing a gender-sensitive performance evaluation system, and issuing guidelines for gender-responsive budgeting programs. However, gaps remain in fully integrating gender considerations into all stages of the public policy process from design to implementation to evaluation. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen gender mainstreaming in planning, budgeting, and governance.
The document discusses the OECD Gender in Governance Policy Toolkit, which aims to help advance gender equality. It provides an overview of the key recommendations of the toolkit, focusing on institutional frameworks for gender equality. It outlines how the toolkit assesses whether countries have adequate gender equality institutions and discusses good practices in countries like Chile and Sweden. The document also previews next steps for expanding and promoting the use of the toolkit.

Participation in adult education varies significantly across states and regions of Europe! Why? Evidence and literature suggests a wide disparity in policy making, programming and implementation skills in the adult education sector across Europe. It is imperative that policy makers and programme managers address this disparity to foster life-long learning for a smart-sustainable Europe (see EU2020 https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/economic-and-fiscal-policy-coordination/eu-economic-governance-monitoring-prevention-correction/european-semester/framework/europe-2020-strategy_en) and to achieve a European target of 15% of the adult population engaged in learning.
In response to this challenge, the ERASMUS+ DIMA project (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/, 2015 to 2017) developed a practical 9 module online course to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice.

Local Undocumented Migration Policy in the Municipality of UtrechtThomas Jézéquel
The document discusses the local undocumented migration policy of Utrecht, Netherlands. It outlines the basic legal principles that guide the policy, including obligations to provide shelter to vulnerable undocumented migrants based on human rights treaties and court rulings. The policy aims to prevent homelessness and illegal stay through support centers that provide coaching to help migrants obtain residence permits or reconnect to their home countries. Evaluation of the programs found better results than national policies, with many migrants gaining perspectives and reduced rough sleeping and criminal offenses.
The document discusses international integration and the European Union. It provides background on why states cooperate through supranational organizations like the UN and EU to address transnational issues. It then summarizes theories of integration, particularly functionalism and neofunctionalism. A large portion discusses the history and evolution of the European Union, from its origins in the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) to treaties establishing the European Economic Community and introducing the euro. It outlines the structure of EU institutions like the European Commission and Council and notes efforts to further economic and political integration through agreements like the Single European Act and Maastricht Treaty.

International organizations are influencing governmental open educational resource (OER) policies around the world. The researcher is exploring how international organizations use different policy instruments to impact provincial, state, and national OER policies. Instruments include reports, advice, conferences, initiatives, and declarations. A survey found many countries cite international influences on their OER policies. The researcher will interview representatives from organizations and governments to understand these influences and recommend how international policies could better support national ones.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Equality Act 2010 in the UK, including:
1) It consolidates and harmonizes protections against discrimination in nine protected characteristics including age, disability, sex, and race.
2) Age discrimination is outlawed in services, public functions, employment, further education, and associations, but not all sectors. Direct discrimination based on age can be objectively justified.
3) The public sector equality duty requires public bodies to have due regard to eliminating discrimination and advancing equality when exercising their functions.
This document discusses strategies for integrating human rights approaches into development. It provides two tools - integrating human rights principles into National Development Plans and conducting Human Rights Impact Assessments. For National Development Plans, it recommends setting quantifiable goals, monitoring equity in budget allocation, and including policies for equality and non-discrimination. For Human Rights Impact Assessments, it describes how they can guide policymaking, foster participation, and strengthen accountability by identifying effects on human rights. HRIAs use international human rights standards and build on other impact assessment methodologies through an evidence-based process.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) is an independent human rights monitoring body of the Council of Europe that specializes in combating racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, and intolerance. ECRI conducts country monitoring to analyze national situations, identify problems, and suggest solutions. It also makes general policy recommendations to provide guidance to states. ECRI works closely with national authorities and civil society to promote its monitoring and recommendations. Its reports have led some countries to enact new anti-discrimination legislation and change policies.
1) Participatory gender audits are a tool for organizational self-assessment and gender mainstreaming that were pioneered by the ILO starting in 2001. They involve desk reviews, interviews, and participatory workshops to evaluate how well an organization integrates gender equality.
2) Over 30 ILO offices and constituents like workers organizations underwent gender audits from 2001-2009. Training of facilitators was also provided. Key findings included a lack of gender mainstreaming tools and clarity on concepts as well as limited representation of women.
3) Positive outcomes of the audits included improved gender balance, flexible work policies, and new tools for integrating gender into technical areas. Ongoing challenges include a lack of accountability and
SOPHIE aims to evaluate the impact of structural policies on health inequalities in Europe through innovative methods. It has four specific objectives: 1) generate new evidence on how policies impact health inequalities, 2) develop methods to identify and evaluate these impacts, 3) increase stakeholder involvement, and 4) disseminate findings to policymakers. Key methods include realist reviews and evaluations of policies related to unemployment benefits, domestic work, urban renewal programs, and dependency care. Results will be delivered through 2014-2015 including reviews, methods of stakeholder involvement, cross-country analyses, and case studies.
The document discusses gender mainstreaming efforts in OECD countries over the past 20 years. It notes some successes, including most countries adopting gender equality strategies and establishing gender equality institutions. However, it also identifies missing links, such as limited accountability and a lack of awareness about gender impacts. The OECD Gender in Governance Toolkit aims to provide guidance on developing whole-of-government gender equality plans, institutional gender mainstreaming mechanisms, accountability measures, and methods for evaluating progress on gender equality goals.
Situation of youth work - Flanders, Lithuania, Estonia, LatviaMarius Ulozas
The document discusses homework responses from participants of a seminar on identifying youth work and youth work quality. The responses are divided into three groups - policy level, practice, and youth - and address questions about national youth work definitions, plans, structures/institutions, long-term visions, and examples of best and bad state support practices. Overall, the document provides insights from several European countries on their approaches to defining, developing, and supporting youth work.
The public sector equality duty consists of a general equality duty, which is set out in section 149 of the Equality Act 2010 itself, and the specific duties which came into law on the 10th September 2011 in England and 6 April in Wales (tbc in Scotland) which are imposed by secondary legislation. The general equality duty came into force on 5 April 2011.
In summary, those subject to the equality duty must, in the exercise of their functions, have due regard to the need to:
* Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act.
* Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
* Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

Making Budgets Gender- Sensitive: A Checklist for Programme-Based Aid Making...Dr Lendy Spires
MAKING BUDGETS GENDER-SENSITIVE: A CHECKLIST FOR PROGRAMME-BASED AID "Aid is only effective if it achieves good development results and good development re- sults are not possible if gender inequalities persist, environmental damage is accepted or human rights are abused." Mary Robinson, at the workshop "Strengthening the Development Results and Impacts of the Paris Declaration through Work on Gender Equality, Social Exclusion and Human Rights", London, March 2008 1. Introduction Since the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (March 2005) a new emphasis is laid on effi ciency of aid flows for achieving greater development effectiveness. The principles of ownership, harmonization, alignment, managing for development results and accountability build the opera tional framework of the Paris Declaration. New aid modalities like Joint Assistance Strategies (JAS), Sector Budget Support (SBS), General Budget Support (GBS), or Basket Funds should guarantee alignment with a government’s development plans and donor priorities as well as stimulate donors to harmonize their efforts. Very early, the OECD DAC Gendernet, the European Union and UNIFEM seized the opportunity the PD was providing for a sound gender mainstreaming effort. Several conferences, workshops and meetings were held during the last three years to gather experiences and best practices for engendering the PD. These exchanges lead to consensus on the importance to bring gender equality and women’s rights as drivers of change into policy dialogue, donor-partner countries negotiations, and public finance management (PFM). Helpful for this process is the methodology of Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) that is al ready available since the later 1980s and is used now by almost 100 countries of the South and the North. In Austria, since January 2008 a new constitutional law requires gender equality princi ples in budgets at all governmental levels (communes, provinces, state). 1 Feminist economists2 have developed several tools of GRB which allow the analysis of budgets in terms of inputs, outputs, outcomes and impact. In addition, budget circulars are used for the inte gration of gender mainstreaming in financial planning.

Law enforcement agencies have an obligation to communicate with the public about their operations to maintain transparency and public trust. They must balance this duty with safeguarding confidential information. Developing a media plan for high-profile operations can help provide sufficient information to minimize public disruption and speculation while presenting the agency's perspective. Without a media plan, there is a risk of inconsistent messages, media interference, and damage to investigations if information updates are delayed. When speaking to the media, agencies must consider whether discussions are on or off the record and follow principles of being fair, accurate, relevant and timely.

The document summarizes findings from a study on teaching history in Latvia. It notes that since 2013, Latvian and World History are taught as separate subjects according to national standards. However, teachers from minority schools say students want more world history taught to understand global events. Students also have trouble connecting historical events in Latvia to world history.

This document discusses factors that contribute to effective anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). It identifies five key conditions for an ACA to be effective: having political will and autonomy; a clear mandate to investigate, prevent, and educate; sufficient powers and safeguards; strong internal capacity; and support from other government and non-government entities. Effective ACAs earn public trust through high-profile convictions, complaint intake, and public opinion surveys. While structural changes may not address internal issues, analyzing an ACA's strengths and weaknesses can help identify gaps other organizations could fill to support the ACA's work.
