The State Audit Office is a leading SAI in the region that has conducted audit on this topic. Gender equality is one of the key aspects for prosperity of the whole society as well as an obligation arising from UN Sustainable Development Agenda 2030.

The workshop conclusions were focused on intensifying cooperation between regional SAIs, bilaterally or multilaterally, aimed at exchange of experience, sharing lessons learned and guidance.
