OECI's Gender Equality Strategy

The OECI Gender Equality Plan (GEP) has been devised to foster the adoption and implementation of GEPs throughout the OECI Membership and OECI's service providers.

The Plan is the outcome of a self-assessment exercise on the gender equality status within the OECI; it covers a 3-year period (2022 – 2025), and it was approved unanimously by the OECI Board of June 14, 2022.

In order to ensure that this GEP is properly implemented, the OECI Board has also established a Gender Equality Committee (GEC) chaired by Jacqueline M.L. Stouthard, an OECI Board Elected Member.
