Advancing gender equality through aid: Realising women's empowerment

该项目旨在评估东南亚援助项目与妇女赋权之间的联系。作为一项全球发展目标，赋予妇女权力已获得相当大的知名度，但进展缓慢。该项目首次对发展机构、公司和非政府组织妇女赋权援助项目的设计、实施和评估进行了政治经济学研究。探索这些动态是理解援助倡议如何能够产生赋予妇女权力的成功方法的关键。该项目将以目前的做法为基础，改进援助方案，并使澳大利亚处于捐助者促进性别平等努力的前列。

This project aims to evaluate links between of aid programs and women’s empowerment in Southeast Asia. Women’s empowerment has gained substantial visibility as a global development objective, however progress has been slow. This project offers the first study of the political economy of the design, implementation and evaluation of aid programs for women's empowerment across development institutions, companies and NGOs. Exploring these dynamics is a key to understanding how aid initiatives can generate successful approaches to empowering women. The project will build on current practices to improve aid programming and place Australia at the forefront of donors’ efforts to advance gender equality.
