| dc.description.abstract | The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) defnes gender-responsive public procurement (GRPP) as ‘a gender mainstreaming tool to promote gender equality through public procurement. GRPP is procurement that promotes gender equality through the goods, services or works being purchased. This means that buyers and suppliers examine the impact of all contracted activities on women’s and men’s needs, interests and concerns, and design and deliver contracts in a way that reduces gender inequalities. It does not necessarily entail higher costs, but does require knowledge and capacity. This report outlines the methodological approach for EIGE’s 2022 data collection exercise, which aimed to measure the state of play of GRPP in the EU. | en_US |
