Korea enacted the Act on Gender Impact Assessment in September 2011, which was implemented in March 2012. The Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) has been practiced under the provision of the Frame Act of Women's Development since 2005 and the separate legislation brought a turning point to accelerate it. First of all, the law increased largely the volume of policies subject to GIA by putting all the newly-made or reformed laws and long-and-mid term policy plans as well as projects conducted by central and local governments under scrutiny of GIA.
This situation is demanding to set up supporting institutions nationwide in order to implement GIA effectively. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has designated some relevant institutes (known as Gender Impact Assessment Center) which supported GIA-related tasks and production of better quality of GIA reports since 2008. In 2008, there were designated institutes including Korea Women's Development Institute, and Gyeonggido Family & Women's Research Institute, and the number has been increased to twelve by March 2012. The Ministry has a plan to designate more and to let all sixteen major cities and provinces have GIA supporting centers within 2012. And also the Ministry will make a job division among GIA centers at central and local levels, which will help conducting GIA systematically and widely over the country.
The designated institutes have played roles of research, consulting, and supporting education of government employees. But there is no study on GIA centers to show the actual situations according to the different locations. And also if the centers at central and local levels will have job divisions, it is needed to examine what kinds of roles will be played by GIA centers at each level. Therefore, this study had an objective to search for making operation models of GIA centers and its development. There are four parts in this study.
Firstly, we examined the experiences of other impact assessment on different issues, which may give some examples for operation of GIA centers. Secondly, we reviewed gender mainstream (GM) policies of other countries. For instance, research institutes in universities have been designated to support GIA and GM policies in Germany. While institutes funded by or under governments have supported GIA in Korea, university research institutes or civilian research institutes have played a role for sound implementation of GIA in other countries where government-funded research institutes are not common. So we collected different cases and studied various roles of GIA centers. Thirdly, we reviewed the operations of designated institutes in different locations, and collected the cases of the activities and outcomes of non-designated institutes to support GIA at local levels and analysed them in comparison. Fourthly, we analysed the research findings in questionaries and interviews with relevant government employees and experts on the roles of GIA centers and incorporated the outcomes into the operation model of GIA centers. Finally, we suggested different operation models for central and local level and recommended future tasks to develop GIA centers according to different stages.
