This research was conducted as part of the activities of the &#8221; <em>Monitoring of Municipal Clients in Public Contracts&#8221;<\/em> project supported by Leviz Albania. The analysis includes 1000 companies contracted by the municipalities for the highest-values for the period 2015 to (July-December) 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main purpose of this research was to identify the subjects administered by women and their weight or share in the process of municipalities allocating public money through contracts. Through public procurement, municipalities select economic entities to provide works, supplies and public services paid by taxpayers&#8217; money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statistical sample for the analysis includes the 1000 largest-value contractors for 2015 &#8211; 2021. Among them, only <strong>136<\/strong> are administered by women. Also, there are 24 companies out of the 1000-companies sample, which have more than one Administrator, including both men and women. The remaining 838 out of 1000 largest-value contractors are administered by men. Similar to women-owned companies, the companies administered by women also seem to be less successful in a difficult sector like the contracting one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"bb8d58f5-d332-4504-95d4-0483910b15c4\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Untitled infographic\"><\/div><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><div style=\"padding:8px 0;font-family:Arial!important;font-size:13px!important;line-height:15px!important;text-align:center;border-top:1px solid #dadada;margin:0 30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infogram.com\/bb8d58f5-d332-4504-95d4-0483910b15c4\" style=\"color:#989898!important;text-decoration:none!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Untitled infographic<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/infogram.com\" style=\"color:#989898!important;text-decoration:none!important;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Infogram<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the list of Companies, which are administered by women, and which are part of the list of the 1000 largest-value municipality contractors for 2015 &#8211; 2021.
