Overview
This report presents the results of the evaluation-audit of the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Policy on Gender Equality. The assessment was conducted between March and June 2019. The Internal Oversight Division (IOD) has applied a participatory approach and assured, whenever appropriate, the inclusion of internal and external stakeholders during all phases of the audit and evaluation process. Overall, 462 WIPO stakeholders participated in the various consultation processes. Twenty-five per cent of WIPO staff (314 WIPO staff members), 17 per cent of the current Gender Focal Points (GFPs), and 28 per cent of WIPO Member States (56 Member States) responded to the survey.
