Gender Mainstreaming National Development Plan: Analysis of its Integration into Public Policy

Abstract




This study analyzed the integration of Gender Mainstreaming in Indonesia’s National Development Plan and its impact on public policy. This report used policy analysis to assess the implementation of Gender Mainstreaming in development plans and its impact. Data was collected from official documents, including development plans, regulations, and reports. Qualitative analysis assessed the integration of gender mainstreaming and gender indicators. Interviews with policymakers and experts provided context and constraints. The findings highlight the importance of gender mainstreaming in national development, successful integration in development plans, and challenges such as limited resources and cultural barriers. Gender integration positively impacts development goals by increasing women’s participation. Recommendations include training and strategic actions. In-depth policy analysis revealed a gap between gender rhetoric and action, indicating structural and cultural barriers. The integration of gender perspectives faces major challenges, emphasizing the need to educate policymakers and address barriers that hinder implementation. In conclusion, Gender Mainstreaming in National Development Plans faces major challenges, requiring increased understanding and concrete actions to overcome barriers.
