Description : |
The former DAC Expert Group, renamed in 2003 the DAC Network on Gender Equality, has performed a valuable service by drawing together a set of practical guidelines for advancing the goals identified by the DAC and by Beijing with respect to gender equality. The DAC Guidelines for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in Development Co-operation draw on the lessons of experience and incorporate illustrations of improved efficiency, effectiveness and coherence in development co-operation. The topics covered are of particular relevance to the design and implementation of locally-owned strategies for sustainable, people-centered development. They range from broad policy issues to more specific sectoral themes. They make specific recommendations for donors, and also recognise the roles of others. A final chapter relates gender equality to other economic, social and environmental goals in the development co-operation agenda for the 21st century |
