to promote gender equality in aid effectiveness process

Background:

The last five years have been marked by a number of milestones toward establishing a new aid architecture where countries have affirmed the need to improve aid effectiveness and increase volumes of aid. The link between these commitments and the visionary promises made by countries to advance gender equality in the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and Security Council Resolution 1325 needs to be clarified and strengthened.

In this context, the European Commission (EC), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organizations (ITC/ILO) are collaborating on a three-year (2007 - 2009) joint project EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Peace and Development which will be piloted in 12 countries, among them is Ukraine.

The EC/UN Partnership supports stronger action on gender equality and women’s human rights in Ukrainian development processes and in cooperation programmes supported by the European Commission. As a result of the mapping study conducted under the EC/UN Partnership Project the following findings were made: gender equality priority in Ukraine is not connected with other strategic documents, therefore national priorities on gender equality are not reflected in the budget, the donor commitments on gender equality in the processes of aid harmonization are not equal and donors don’t have mechanisms of tracking the gender mainstreaming in the programs and projects, Ukrainian CSOs are not aware of the aid effectiveness process to the full extent. Some of the recommendations were: to start applying the gender budgeting in Ukraine with the aim to strengthen government accountability, to calculate funds needed for implementation of gender priorities in Ukraine, to develop capacity of the key Ministries, gender advocates, women-members of the Parliament and NGOs on the formulation of national budgets and national development priorities on gender equality issues in the context of gender responsive budgeting and a general ‘engendering’ of national development processes through trainings; and establishment of an expert group for monitoring gender equality issues in the national strategies.
