Report: Aid in support of gender equality and women's empowerment
This analytical chapter is divided in five chapters (5 themes): 1. Aid in support of gender equality and women's empowerment: Statistical overview This chapter examines data on OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) member aid flows that explicitly target gender equality and women’s empowerment. It provides guidance for analysis and interpretation of gender equality marker data and discusses the main methodological issues and possible ways forward. See also: Aid in support of gender equality and women’s empowerment (annual statistical charts) 2. Aid in support of women's economic empowerment Economic empowerment aims to raise the capacity of women and men to participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth processes in ways which recognise the value of their contributions, respect their dignity and make it possible to negotiate a fairer distribution of the benefits of growth. This chapter examines DAC members’ aid to women’s economic empowerment in 2007-08. 3. Aid in support of gender equality in education and health This chapter examines the extent to which Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors’ aid to education and health addressed gender equality objectives in 2009-2010. It compares these aid flows against global gaps in education and health to provide a picture of how aid can be more effectively targeted to enable more girls and women to access education and health. 4. Aid in support of gender equality in Fragile and Conflicted-affected States This study is a contribution to mark the 10th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (in 2010), and provides an overview of DAC members’ funding targeted to gender equality in fragile and conflict-affected states. 5. Aid in support of gender equality in humanitarian contexts (forthcoming) |
The DAC Secretariat annually
publishes statistical charts showing the aid allocated by each DAC member for
gender equality and women’s empowerment. The document Aid
in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment was last published in
March 2013 with aid data for 2010-2011. Information includes the share of aid
focussed on gender equality, top ten recipients, a sector breakdown and marker coverage
for each DAC donor.
Definition:
Data
on DAC members’ aid targeting gender equality and women’s empowerment are
compiled with the help of the gender equality marker in the Creditor Reporting
System (CRS). Every aid activity reported to the CRS should be screened and
marked as either (i) targeting gender equality as a “principal objective” or a
“significant objective”, or (ii) not targeting the objective.
An
activity should be classified as gender equality focussed (score Principal or Significant)
if it is intended to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment or reduce
discrimination and inequalities based on sex. Criteria for eligibility:
gender equality is explicitly promoted in activity documentation trough
specific measures which:
Important
note on coverage:
The
first element to take into account when analysing the data for one country
or when comparing data between countries is the COVERAGE RATIO, i.e. the
proportion of aid which is screened. A high percentage of gender equality
focussed aid alone does not mean that aid is well aligned with the gender
equality policy objective; such a conclusion would only be valid for a donor
with 100% coverage. When comparing data between donors, both coverage ratio and
% of aid focussed on gender equality and women's empowerment have to be
considered.
Data:
To get data on the gender equality
marker go to the CRS
dataset on Aid activities targeting gender equality and women's empowerment.
A Users’ guide for the
CRS on-line database to the gender markers is also available.

tracking financing for gender equality This paper, by Patti O'Neill of the
OECD's Development Co-operation Directorate, was prepared as an input to the
2012 UN Commission on the Status of women (CSW). It provides an introduction to
the DAC gender equality policy marker, and sets out what the data on aid
targeting gender equality tell us and how they are used.
