El Sello de Igualdad de Género del PNUD en el CSJF de Bosnia — Primera Institución Pública Certificada en Europa (2020-2024)

Details

Maturity: Established
Promoter: High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HJPC BiH)
Period: 2020-2024
Keywords: judiciary, public administration, workplace gender equality, institutional certification

Context

En 2020, el High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council de Bosnia y Herzegovina (HJPC BiH) adoptó la primera Gender Equality Strategy del sector judicial de la región y se inscribió en el programa Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions del PNUD, que exige una autoevaluación, un plan de acción de reforma y una evaluación externa frente a 40 indicadores de éxito.

Results

En diciembre de 2024, el HJPC BiH se convirtió en la primera institución pública de Europa en recibir el Seal, cumpliendo 30 de los 40 indicadores y superando todas las condiciones obligatorias para el nivel Silver, con el PNUD y el HJPC BiH informando de la paridad de género en todos los niveles de la organización, incluidos los puestos de toma de decisiones.

Conclusions

Ni el PNUD ni el HJPC BiH han publicado un desglose de costes del programa de reforma, por lo que su eficiencia en términos de costes no puede evaluarse de forma independiente a partir de las fuentes disponibles.

Evaluation

Evaluated by C-NAPSE

Score profile — the dimensions behind the score — how it's computed

Transferability / replicability2/3

The Gender Equality Seal is a standardised UNDP programme already applied to multiple public institutions, making HJPC BiH's specific reform action plan a replicable template for other judicial or public bodies.

Impact on gender equality1/1

HJPC BiH reports gender parity reached at all levels of the organisation including decision-making positions, a concrete institutional outcome tied to the certification process.

Effectiveness1/1

The institution met 30 of 40 external audit indicators, clearing every mandatory condition required for the Silver-level Seal.

Efficiency0/1

No cost breakdown or cost-per-outcome data has been published for the reform programme, so efficiency cannot be evidenced from available sources.

Evaluated outcomes1/1

Results were verified through UNDP's external evaluation process against 40 named indicators, not self-report alone.

Sustainability1/1

HJPC BiH reports steady budget increases for gender-responsive work across three consecutive fiscal years, indicating continued institutional commitment beyond the certification date.

Achievement / evidence1/1

Becoming the first public institution in Europe to receive the Seal, built on the region's first judicial Gender Equality Strategy (2020), is a documented, verifiable first.

Gender-mainstreaming embedding1/1

The reform embeds gender considerations into leadership composition, budgeting and official communications (Media Action Plan) across the institution.

Curator validation1/1

The Silver Seal award was corroborated by two independent sources (UNDP and the Gender Equality Seal programme site) reporting the same 30/40 indicator result.
