Discussions included the following conducted activities:
- Methodology for mapping gender policies and key stakeholders in the energy sector.

Partner organizations exchanged the results of mapping policies, laws, measures, and plans related to gender equality in the energy sector in each country, based on which comparative analyses of the situation in each country will be prepared.
