Abstract

Gender equality or mainstreaming has continued to be a front burner in the public discourse over the years. The concept advocated for more women’s representation in leadership and participation in activities and policy that affect them. This paper examined the concept of gender mainstreaming in the public administrative system of Nigeria, as a solution to problems of effective public policy. The paper explores literature on gender mainstreaming, public administration, model of gender mainstreaming, public policy and anchored the study on feminism theory. The use of internet, journal articles, thesis, government publication, official reports and archival materials assisted in the source of information. The study revealed that despite increased number of graduate female, high disparity in women/men representation noticed contribute to problem of public policy in Nigeria. It was concluded that gender mainstreaming with strong political will, technical capacity with supporting organisational culture for implementation and accountability on implementation will ensure women’s experience and contribution in public policy for effective service delivery and improved standard of living in Nigeria.
