Gender impact assessment has been both celebrated as a beacon of hope for the cause of gender equality and criticised as being ineffectual. More than 20 years of gender mainstreaming have demonstrated that equality governance with and through impact assessment is an intersectional and still evolving process. Arn T. Sauer's study examines the instruments of gendered policy analysis and the conditions under which they are being used by the Canadian federal government and the European Commission. Interviews with experts from public administration and instrument designers as well as document analyses reveal benefits and challenges and show that the success of equality governance depends upon whether knowledge about gendered policy and appropriate administrative practices are embedded, embodied and entrenched in public administration.

Die Studie evaluiert zwei Bereiche des Umweltbundesamtes aus einer Gender-Perspektive: Zum einen werden im Bereich des Ressortforschungsplans quantitative Gleichstellungsaspekte und qualitative Gender-Aspekte abgeschlossener Forschungsprojekte betrachtet. Zum anderen geht es im Bereich der Verbändeförderung um die Auswertung von ausgewählten Projektanträgen, um die Erfüllung von Vorgaben zu Geschlechteraspekten zu evaluieren. Für eine wirksamere Umsetzung von Maßnahmen und Instrumenten von Gender Mainstreaming im UBA werden für beide Bereiche Handlungsempfehlungen gemacht. Ein zentraler Befund der Studie ist: Es mangelt nicht an Wissen und Instrumenten zur Integration von Gender-Aspekten in der Forschungsförderung und der Verbändeförderung; die identifizierten Lücken sind vor allem auf eine geringe Umsetzungswirkung bestehender Regelungen zurückzuführen.
