Advancing gender equality through aid: Realising women's empowerment

该项目旨在评估援助方案与东南亚妇女赋权之间的联系。增强妇女权能作为一项全球发展目标已获得显著的可见度，但进展缓慢。该项目首次对各发展机构、公司和非政府组织妇女赋权援助方案的设计、执行和评价进行了政治经济学研究。探索这些动态是了解援助举措如何能够产生增强妇女权能的成功办法的关键。该项目将以现行做法为基础，改进援助方案拟订工作，并使澳大利亚站在捐助者努力促进两性平等的前列。

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.
