Positive trends in port governance and gender representation Each year, the Port Performance

Scorecard (PPS) is used by UNCTAD to compare and contrast nations using data from its TrainForTrade
Port Management Program.The PPS, which makes use of data for 26 indicators and enables comparisons
between entire port entities, provides data that is useful for strategic planning within ports and for
evidence-based policy analysis at the regional and state levels. In contrast, many other port
performance projects concentrate on service provision, such as cargo handling.Throughput at member
ports in 2020 ranged from 1.5 million to 80.9 million tonnes per year.Half of them fell into the smallest
category—those with less than 5 million tonnes—while the other half fell into the medium category—
those with 5 million to 10 million tonnes—a range of volumes that was consistent across all regions.The
percentage of women in the port workforce has been one of the six main categories in the PPS
scorecard since 2015.This remained low in 2019 and 2020, hovering around 18%.Even though male and
female roles are not equally distributed in Europe, the rate was significantly higher at 25%.In
management and administrative positions, where the proportion of women rose from 38% in 2019 to
42% in 2020, women tend to be better represented.
