Ukrhydroenergo plans to allocate a million for research into gender equality issues

“The scandal around Ukrhydroenergo is gaining momentum after the company announced a tender for consulting services on gender equality worth more than 1 million hryvnia.”

The tender, published on the government procurement website Prozorro, caused disapproval and criticism among citizens.

The commissioned services related to gender equality, diversity and inclusion have caused mixed emotions in society. Many expressed their dissatisfaction with this use of company funds. Such an amount at the consultation raised a flurry of questions about how justified and rational such expenses are.

In addition, demands for violations of this tender were sent to the State Audit Service on three main points:
  • violation of procedures for determining the subject of procurement,
  • violation of legislation on the unreasonable choice and application of procurement methods,
  • non-compliance with or delay in publishing information about the procurement itself.

 

However, the company's press service has already provided its position on this issue.

In a statement on its Facebook page, the company noted that in times of war, given the dominance of men in the energy sector, the active integration of women into this industry has become a priority.

 

“This approach is key to creating a more balanced work environment. At the same time, we understand that even the formulation of these concepts may be perceived ambiguously by the public. We see and try to understand each position, striving to find harmony between the needs of immediate renewal and long-term plans for the future,” the statement said.

They also added that in the context of this topic, they will focus their efforts on seeking grants from international partners for the implementation of this project in order to find other opportunities and reduce the financial burden on the company.
