Gender impact assessment

FWRPD has contributed to the development and execution of Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) in Taiwan.[4] Along with Taiwan's Women's Rights Committee, FWRPD led a series of discussions to draft and implement Taiwan's Gender impact assessment, at the beginning of Taiwan's history of gender impact assessment.[4]

FWRPD has held four gender analysis and impact assessment training workshops in 2008 so as to prepare frontline bureaucrats to implement gender impact assessment.[4]
