10 Key Lessons from the GenProcure Network so far
The GenProcure Action Planning Network (APN) is one of 30 such APN’s resourced through the URBACT Programme. Commencing in June 2023, and composing of 9 Partners, GenProcure is focused upon the topic of Gender Responsive Public Procurement. GenProcure is particularly seeking to ensure that as part of the design, tendering, decision-making and delivery of Procurement exercises, that our Partners consider the implications for Gender Equality and how Procurement can be utilised to address wider inequality.
At the mid-point of the Network in December 2024, we have met collaboratively 8 times to discuss themes associated with Gender Responsive Public Procurement; our Partners have tested ideas such as Spend Analysis and inserting Gender Criteria in specific Procurement’s; and our Partners have started to draft Integrated Action Plans that will shape their practice around Gender Responsive Public Procurement into the future.
Collectively, we have learnt a lot so far, and in this article, we outline 10 key lessons so far!
