Gender disparity in politics, social and economic spheres and unclear status of Gender mainstreaming implementation is the basic concern of all sectors and leaders in order to achieve gender equality in 2030. Hence, the purpose of this study is to assess the status of gender mainstreaming implementation in selected public sectors of Addis Ababa City Government. The study deployed mixed research approach. Questionnaires, personal in-depth interview, Focused Group and desk review were the main data collection instruments used in the study. A total of 384 sample respondents were randomly selected for the survey questionnaire while key informants were purposively selected. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed concurrently using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that in most sectors gender mainstreaming tools such as gender specific planning, trainings, gender analysis, auditing, Monitoring & Evaluation, accountability and empowerment issues were weakly implemented in most of the sectors. The implementation status of Gender mainstreaming indicates significant difference between sectors but insignificant difference between administrative levels. Hence, the overall status of Gender mainstreaming in the studied sectors is found to be Gender Awared (moderate). The result implies that all sectors need to focus on gender mainstreaming tools, accountability system and working on women empowerment to improve the status of Gender mainstreaming.
