| Résumé : |
Launched in 2013, the Gender Equality Organizational Assessment Tool[1] (GEOAT) enables Customs administrations to self-assess their existing policies and procedures on gender equality in order to identify areas where improvement may be needed. While they can conduct the assessment on their own, Customs administrations can also receive support from the WCO Secretariat to obtain a more comprehensive evaluation. As at June 2023, the WCO Secretariat has worked with the Customs administrations of Brazil, India, South Africa, the Philippines, Liberia, Zambia, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Togo, within the framework of different capacity building programmes. During COVID-19, some of the assessments were made remotely. All resulted in comprehensive reports, including recommendations adapted to the specific context of each country.
The most recent assessments, with Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Togo, were carried out within the framework of the West Africa Security Project (WASP), which is implemented by the WCO Secretariat and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. By including a component on Gender Equality and Diversity in the Project, the two Project partners acknowledge the importance of gender equality and diversity as prerequisites for achieving sustainable development and for ensuring peace and security. The WCO recommends implementing gender equality and diversity on a cross-cutting level, in internal policies (human resource management), external policies (border operations and engagement with stakeholders), and in overall coordination, monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms. Within the framework of the WASP, a WCO Secretariat expert first analysed each of these areas using the GEOAT and its indicators. |
