A toolkit for gender audits of election administration based on the ODIHR audits in the Western Balkans - Activity Brief

Between 2020 and 2022, ODIHR conducted pioneering gender assessments of the activities of the election administrations in North Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro, in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Skopje, the OSCE Presence in Albania and the OSCE Mission to Montenegro.

To support other EMBs and their partner organizations in implementing such audits (including from the civil society), ODIHR has developed a gender audit toolkit drawing on its audit experience in the Western Balkans. This activity was part of the Support to Electoral Reforms in the Western Balkans project, funded by the European Union and the Austrian Development Agency.
