GENDER EQUALITY MONITORING CENTRE (CEIM)

The Gender Equality Monitoring Centre (CEIM) is a pioneering digital platform established by the Association for Gender Equality Monitoring (CEID). CEIM hosts Türkiye’s first gender-based Data Portal and was developed to strengthen data-driven, rights-based monitoring and facilitate knowledge exchange between the public sector, civil society, and academia. The Data Portal, featuring indicator-based analysis across 16 thematic areas of gender equality, provides a comprehensive and user-friendly infrastructure for monitoring and comparison, accessible to decision-makers, researchers, and activists.

In addition, CEIM features a unique AI-supported E-Library, built on DSpace infrastructure, with access to over 2,500 national and international resources, including academic publications, policy documents, guides, and international agreements.

Through its Training Portal, CEIM delivers online training modules and videos to promote rights-based monitoring. The Expert Pool, comprising specialists from civil society, academia, and local governments, supports knowledge sharing and capacity development.

CEIM goes beyond monitoring and actively shapes the informational and institutional infrastructure for transformative change in gender equality.

LOCAL ACTIVITIES

The CEIDizler Project implements activities in 11 provinces to strengthen gender equality at the local level. These are carried out through Local Gender Equality Monitoring Platforms (LOGEMPs) established according to each province's priorities.

LOGEMPs are civil platforms composed of voluntary participants from civil society organizations, professional chambers, trade unions, public institutions, local governments, city councils, and academia. Each platform develops and implements unique monitoring plans tailored to local needs.

What We Do:

1. Monitoring Activities at the Local Level
   Each LOGEMP identifies priority areas for the province and develops indicators for these thematic areas. Data collected between February and April is used to regularly monitor and analyze gender equality developments at the local level.
2. Advocacy and Action Plans
   Based on the data, advocacy strategies are revised annually, and action plans are implemented in cooperation with LOGEMP members.
3. Cooperation with Local Governments
   LOGEMPs establish strong cooperation with local governments, providing support for the preparation of Local Equality Action Plans and offering assistance to enhance the impact of Women’s Support Centres, Equality Units and similar structures within municipalities.
4. Experience Sharing and Networking
   LOGEMPs frequently come together to share experiences and foster mutual learning by strengthening collaborations across provinces.
5. Capacity Building
   Regular training programs are organized for LOGEMP members under the CEIDizler Project, with expert support offered based on their needs and demands.

CEIDIZLER GRANT AND IN-KIND SUPPORT PROGRAMME

The CEIDizler Grant and In-Kind Support Programme is a comprehensive support mechanism aiming to monitor gender equality at local and national levels, enhance data visibility, and strengthen rights-based civil society organizations.

The programme consists of two support types: grants and in-kind assistance.

Grant support enables civil society organizations to carry out monitoring, advocacy and awareness-raising activities through long-term and structured projects. In the second phase of the CEIDizler Programme, 11 rights-based CSOs received grants; in the third phase, this number increased to 13. Supported projects have produced tangible outcomes such as the development of gender equality indicators, data-based analyses, monitoring of local equality mechanisms, and formulation of policy recommendations.

The in-kind support programme, launched in 2025, supports short-term, flexible and intervention-based activities. To date, 9 different platforms, networks and initiatives have benefited from this support. In-kind assistance includes the provision of materials, equipment and logistics for activities such as workshops, field visits, trainings, and forums. This support type aims to strengthen gender equality advocacy by increasing cooperation and visibility, particularly at the local level.
