Title Financing for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women: Paradoxes and Possibilities.
Author Bakker, I
Publication Date September 2007
Publisher Division for the Advancement of Women, Department of Economic and Social Affairs
Donor United Nations
Short Summary How can increased implementation of gender equality commitments be facilitated through financial measures? This paper explores this question. Section one offers a discussion of macroeconomic policies and their links to financing for development initiatives and to gender equality commitments - in particular those stemming from the Monterrey Consensus (adopted at the International Conference on Financing for Development in March 2002). It considers the references to gender equality in the Monterrey document, assesses gender equality issues omitted from the Consensus, and reviews the inter-governmental follow-up process. Section two focuses on Gender Responsive Budgets, arguing that the current shift to results-based public financial management systems may offer an important entry point for Gender Responsive Budgeting as it can contribute to more efficient and equitable management of financial resources. Section three discusses how far and in what ways there has been, or could be, greater mobilisation of international economic resources, including aid flows, which might promote gender equality. Section four asks how far and in what ways these aid and other financial flows can be increased. It maps out some of the main proposals for new and innovative sources of financing at the international and multilateral levels, as well as in the private commercial and philanthropic sectors, and in the non-governmental organisation (NGO) realm.
This paper was presented at the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women Expert Group Meeting on Financing for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, held in Oslo.

Resources on Aid Effectiveness |
NEW! AWID is pleased to announce that our Aid Effectiveness and Women's Rights Series
This set of Primers shares critical information and analysis about the new aid architecture that has emerged as a result of the Paris Declaration (PD)-the most recent donor-partner agreement designed to increase the impact of aid. This aid effectiveness agenda, the result of the signature and implementation of the Paris Declaration process currently determines how and to whom aid is being delivered as well as how donor and aid-recipient countries are relating to one another. We hope the information, analysis and proposals included in these primers will encourage women's rights advocates and other actors to understand the relevance of this process and to engage in it to support the call for a more comprehensive, balanced, and inclusive approach to reforming aid so that it reaches the people who need it most, including women! Stay tuned for the 5th and final primer in this series devoted to highlighting some of the specific concerns and recommendations from a women's rights perspective.

RESEARCHES CARRIED OUT DURING 2007.
While monitoring the Beijing Platform for Action over the past ten years, EASSI has identified issues that require more in-depth research in order to catalyze sub-regional and national actions on them. Some of the critical areas identified affecting women in this sub-region are poverty, food insecurity and HIV&AIDS. The main objective of this research, therefore, is to make a study on food security in the context of HIV&AIDS, women’s land rights, poverty and to develop advocacy strategies for the sub-region.
