Author: Lorraine Corner

ISBN/description: 1-932827-66-8; 47 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 Indonesia, Nepal and Papua New Guinea.  The three countries receive different levels and patterns of official development assistance (ODA), which have influenced the development of mechanisms for the implementation of the Paris Declaration. All three countries have made ongoing efforts to strengthen public finance management systems and promote performance-based management by linking development strategies to annual and multi-annual budget processes. Donor partners have committed to linking country programming and resources to results while aligning with country performance assessment frameworks. The studies examine to what extent these processes have enhanced the funding for and attainment of gender equality results. The studies were carried out within the context of the EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Development and Peace.
