Recommendation (the committee's words)
We believe the GEO must take a more proactive role in mainstreaming gender equality in policy development across all Government departments. We urge the GEO and the Minister for Women and Equalities to be much more ambitious in co- ordinating equalities strategies and holding departments to account on equalities. The Unequal impact? Coronavirus and the gendered economic impact 43 GEO’s strategy plan for 2020–2021 must reflect these proactive policy development priorities and demonstrate clear key performance indicators for achieving them.
