Annual Questionnaire on Gender Equality Policies and Practices evaluates the progress of policy-making and regulatory agencies in implementing gender issues into all areas of their work. The questionnaire helps to build awareness, identify successful gender quality strategies and develop expertise that can be shared with other U.N. agencies, telecommunication administrations, the private sector and NGOs. The responses to the questionnaire are entered into a database of basic indicators related to gender equality.

The questionnaire results are summarized in the annual Report on Gender Equality Policies and Practices that is presented at the Annual Meeting of the Task Force on Gender Issues.
