EU Donors under Women’s Watch

WIDE Checks up on Gender Equality and Women’s Rights in the Aid Effectiveness Agenda on the Road to Busan, 2011

The report maps the degree to which European Union donors from Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK comply with the commitments they made in the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda for Action, and the impact this has on gender equality and women´s human rights.
The policy brief summarises the most important findings of the mapping study based on women’s organisations’ voices carried out by WIDE on EU donors’ compliance with their ownership and mutual accountability commitments made in the Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action. WIDE has focused on the EU’s intentions and actions as donors based on the example of five Member States: Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK. The brief highlights how gender equality and women’s rights have been addressed in the changing aid modalities context; it points out to the gaps, and suggests ways for improvement.
