It is the result of the project “Inclusion of the gender perspective in the V National Action Plan of the Open State of Colombia”, which was carried out by the civil society organizations of the Open State Committee of Colombia, and thanks to the OGP 2023 Gender and Inclusion Sub-Awards grant as part of support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

Recommendations Guide for Colombia

This document is part of the project “Inclusion of a gender perspective in the V National Open State Action Plan of Colombia”, whose findings are essential to apply Action Plans with gender perspective and address pending actions to have equitable policies. The experience in the construction of the V Action Plan in Colombia is not only a model for future Action Plans in Colombia, but also a reference for other countries. We make available the success factors and aspects to improve from our experience to contribute to closing gender gaps through participation, transparency, accountability and innovation.

“The gender approach goes beyond the data and the indicator to measure (…) it goes with the ways in which it is done, with the work structure, with the impact it has, with the number of women or gender dissidents who manage to recognize, understand, appropriate and get involved in the process”

“When we think about individual participation, it is important to promote the necessary “care” policies. Therefore, when we increase spaces, compensations and other types of elements, we are improving women's participation, because “care” is socially perceived as a woman's job.”

“Participation and representation must be significant and effective, that is, they have influence in decision-making and not only as a consultative body. This participation must take into account the diversity within the different groups of women and LGBTIQ+ people”
