Author: Jacinta Muteshi

ISBN/description: 1-932827-65-X; 41 pages.

This report provides an overview of the issues and trends that emerged from mapping studies on aid effectiveness, gender equality and women's empowerment in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia and Ghana.  The findings point to increased Government-Donor cooperation in developing and supporting nationally owned development plans. At the same time, they indicate that these plans are not yet fully country-owned and donors have not yet aligned support to national gender equality priorities. Challenges also remain with regards to the integration of gender equality plans in national development strategies and participation of gender equality advocates in discussions on aid delivery. The studies were carried out within the context of the EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Development and Peace.
