This approach allows the Ministry to function primarily as a policy agency rather than engaging in service delivery or advocacy. Belgium’s federal Inter-Departmental Coordination Group supports a whole-of-government approach by bringing together representatives from across ministries who also serve as gender focal points in their respective entities. A whole-of-government approach is also in place in Australia. Yet, while this type of approach can certainly yield significant gains, the potential for a diminished role for the central gender institution exists.
