UNDP awarded Iceland with the gold certification for its transformative gender equality efforts under the UNDP Gender Equality Seal Programme. The Seal initiative works with public institutions and organizations across the world to achieve excellency in standards to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment. Iceland is the first donor country to be awarded with such a certification by UNDP.
The award was presented by Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator, to Thórdís Kolbrún Gylfadóttir Reykfjörd, Iceland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, during a ceremony in New York (see below a photo of the ceremony!). UNDP has partnered with the Directorate for International Development Cooperation of Iceland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2019 on this initiative, including with its missions in Uganda and Malawi.

Supporting Public Servants to Deliver Generation Equality Commitments
Apolitical is a peer-to-peer learning network for governments, connecting 100k+ public servants in over 170 countries to the latest and best ideas, skills and partners they need to solve today’s complex challenges. One of our key focus areas is gender equality. Based on our experience of working closely with public servants, we have found that even with the best political will, governments can fall short in making and/ or implementing programs and policies that will bring about transformational change toward gender equality. This can be due to a lack of access to: gender-specific policies that have worked in other contexts to adapt; research to guide decision-making; peers to learn and collaborate with; and skills for effective implementation.
Auditing practices is one of the key sub-components of public financial management primarily concerned with examining and ascertaining whether public resources were used for the purposes they were budgeted for in line with the set regulations. The objective of this research was to determine the impact of auditing as practiced in Ghana’s district assemblies (DAs) on service delivery. The study used a mixed methods research design to collect qualitative and quantitative data through questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Thirty-four districts out of 170 that existed in 2008 were sampled. The study gathered information from 612 DA officials, 1020 citizens, 28 key informants and 20 participants in focus group discussions. Quantitative data was measured by using scaled-items, and analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. For qualitative data, the researcher used thematic summary analysis. According to the findings, citizens rated service delivery poorly, whereas district assembly officials rated service delivery as satisfactory. The research also found that auditing practices had a positive but insignificant effect on service delivery. The study recommends that district assemblies and authorities work hard to integrate and improve innovative communication tools such as websites, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp to supplement the interaction activities of auditors, those who implement audit findings, and other stakeholders. DAs should increase the current capacity of audit staff. DAs should also work towards strengthening the role of sector audit implementation committees, ensure strict enforcement of audit reports, and enforce sanctions of officers culpable of malpractices.
