Nove cidades associam a contratação pública à igualdade de género

A Rede de Planeamento de Ação GenProcure centra-se no tópico temático da Contratação Pública Sensível ao Género. Ao longo dos próximos dois anos e até dezembro de 2025, procurará apoiar nove cidades parceiras no desenvolvimento de Planos de Ação Integrados (Integrated Action Plans - IAP) que permitam que a igualdade de género seja um fator essencial na Contratação Pública.

A contratação pública estende-se desde a conceção de bens e serviços, passando pela apresentação de propostas, até à monitorização dos resultados e dos impactos.
