RAPPORTS SOCIAUX DE GENRE ET DYNAMIQUES ORGANISATIONNELLES DANS L'ADMINISTRATION PUBLIQUE :

This article examines gender relations and organizational dynamics within the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Côte d’Ivoire, focusing on the gap between public policies promoting gender parity and their actual implementation. Based on a qualitative approach combining semi-structured interviews and document analysis, the study highlights structural, institutional, and sociocultural barriers that limit the integration of gender considerations into administrative practices. The analysis shows that, despite a growing awareness of the importance of equality, inter-institutional coordination and initiatives supporting women remain insufficient. Sustainable institutionalization of gender thus requires improved coordination among stakeholders, strengthening of dedicated structures, continuous staff training, and the integration of gender into planning and evaluation of organizational practices.
