Based on official policy indicators and a methodology shared across the Western Balkan (WB) region, this policy brief monitors and reports on progress made in furthering gender equality in relation to key EU Accession-related processes and political dialogues in 2023. The brief aims to provide government and EU officials with insight and recommendations on how to further improve a gender perspective within these processes, as well as to inform women’s rights organisations’ (WCSOs) advocacy for a more gender transformative EU Accession process. KWN conducted monitoring and produced this brief using a methodology developed by partner organisations of the Regional Coalition for Gender Equality in the EU Accession Process (EQUAPRO).
