The Interreg “four countries network” project aims to establish and develop a professional network of equality bodies in the Lake Constance area. The participants are the department for women and equality of the Vorarlberg state government (A), the department for equal opportunities for the town of Constance (D), the official representative for family and women’s issues for the Lake Constance area (D), the department for equal opportunities for men and women for the canton of Grisons (CH) and the department for equal opportunities for the principality of Liechtenstein (FL). Institutional work on women’s issues and equality by the authorities / regions has a long tradition in the various countries. The structures in the field of women’s issues and equality have undergone a far-reaching change in the last few years in some of the regions involved. Also, the benefits of equality institutions have been called into question at regular intervals in some regions. The equality landscape and work has therefore changed. The change is to be analysed and displayed in the planned project. The mode of action of the existing structures is also set out. The following objectives are being pursued individually: internal clarification of the situation – the legal bases and factual situation as well as the framework conditions that have an effect on equality work. Other possible points for clarification: objectives, fields of activity, orders, programmes, successes, integration into administration, organisational unit, and cooperation with external representatives; external clarification of the situation – funding of NGOs through communal, cantonal and government offices (financing, orders, cooperation, etc.); intensification of the cooperation between official equality offices in the regions via the development of a network structure with aims, roles, structure, rules for cooperation with government and NGOs, and financing; working out transnational strategies; handling joint challenges; inclusion of NGOs with their focus on topic work; working out strategies and measures for the external representation of equality activities. A new transnational network structure, the formation of platforms via workshops or Internet networking, and the exchange and development of new measures, should emerge from the project. Its conclusion represents a transnational event for all groups with an interest in equality matters. (English)
