Development Finance for Gender Equality 2024

This report offers an unprecedented overview of international development finance, aid and beyond, aimed at advancing gender equality. It analyses the data collected by the OECD to explore trends, uncover details, identify possible drivers, and suggest areas where finance can be better used to support gender equality. A special section presents opportunities to increase the gender equality focus of investments in selected thematic areas. This report comes at a time of stalled progress, even pushback against gender equality and the rights and empowerment of all women and girls in many countries. By painting a fresh picture of the financing available and how it is used, it supports accountability and helps accelerate the mobilisation of new resources to resume progress towards gender equality.
