<P><STRONG>How have women’s rights organisations mobilized and participated in
the two major global processes that could have the greatest impact on how aid is
delivered to poor people?</STRONG> </P></DIV>
<DIV class=attribute-long>
<P>By Kathambi Kinoti </P>
<P>The arduous work of engaging with the individuals, policies and institutions
that drive the way in which aid flows from donors to less developed countries
has been occupying women’s rights advocates for several years now. </P>
<P><BR>There are currently two key processes that aim to address the ways in
which financial aid from Northern- primarily bilateral and multilateral donors-
is channelled to poor countries for development. One is the Aid Effectiveness
process and the other the Financing for Development process. The Aid
Effectiveness agenda was instituted and is facilitated by the Development
Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD DAC), while the Financing for Development agenda comes under
the auspices of the United Nations. The Aid Effectiveness agenda is grounded on
the Paris Declaration, and the Financing for Development agenda is grounded on
the Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development. Women’s rights advocates
say that the Paris Declaration and the Aid Effectiveness agenda are gender blind
and too technical, attempting to make the delivery of aid more efficient, but
undermining the delivery of development. </P>
<P>Women’s rights organisations have urged that the Aid Effectiveness and
Financing for Development processes be integrated into one regime that makes
development more effective. This regime should be within the United Nations
system which is more democratic, inclusive and development oriented than the
OECD DAC which is a group of donors. Nevertheless, women’s rights organisations
have continued to engage with both processes. <BR>In February this year, women’s
rights organisations came together in Ottawa, Canada for a consultation on the
Paris Declaration and Aid Effectiveness. The meeting was hosted by AWID and
WIDE. Some representatives from the consultation went on to attend a
multi-stakeholder dialogue on Civil Society and Aid Effectiveness organised by
the Advisory Group on Civil Society and Aid Effectiveness. AWID and WIDE were
later invited to join the Advisory Group. </P>
<P>In early September this year, representatives of donor and recipient
governments met at the Third High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra,
Ghana to review the progress made since 2005 in making aid more ‘effective.’
Civil society, including women’s rights organisations had an opportunity, albeit
a limited one, to input into the performance review and make recommendations for
improvement. The outcome document from Accra, the Accra Agenda for Action
reiterated that ‘gender equality, respect for human rights, and environmental
sustainability are cornerstones for achieving enduring impact on the lives and
the potential of poor women.’</P>
<P>In October a series of meetings took place in Paris including an
International Steering Group (ISG) meeting of civil society organisations. The
ISG serves as a watchdog within the Aid Effectiveness and the Financing for
Development processes. The ISG pushes for development cooperation and
development effectiveness and one of its upcoming tasks will be to advocate for
the next High Level Forum to review progress on the implementation of the Paris
Declaration, to be organised within the UN system, thus uniting the two agendas:
Aid Effectiveness and Financing for Development. Civil society organisations are
now working on being included in the OECD Working Party on Aid Effectiveness.
</P>
<P>In December a meeting will take place in Doha, Qatar to review progress in
the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus. Women’s rights organisations are
mobilising to participate in the meeting. One example of this is the Women’s
Working Group on Financing for Development which consists of a number of trade
unions and a coalition of women’s networks and organisations. The Working Group
participated in interactive hearings that took place in June this year in New
York, and also organised a Women’s Consultation around that time.</P>
<P>The engagement and advocacy of women’s rights organisations in the Aid
Effectiveness and Financing for Development processes has opened up spaces for
their participation where previously they were overlooked. However slightly, it
has also influenced the language of these processes, although not the main
documents upon which the processes are based: particularly the Paris
Declaration. At the AWID Forum in Cape Town later this month, women’s rights
networks and organisations that have been involved in these processes will
facilitate a session to take stock of their achievements and to discuss the
challenges they have encountered. Their work has been an example of the value of
collaboration and concerted advocacy, but a reminder as well of the continuous
need to struggle for women’s voices to be heard at the highest policy levels.

</SPAN>Notes will be going out but for now I want to follow-up on one of
the tasks which is to send out the GCAP Strategic Framework for your
review and input. Some of you may be familiar with it already and have
seen it as part of the material sent out by the regional
secretariats.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The GCAP
Global Secretariat has provided us extra time to review and finalize. I
know the Europeans asked for more time and will be doing a thorough
review at their meeting in November. So, for this and other reasons, the
time for review has been extended. The section on Women’s Rights is not
comprehensive but it is quite good and brings in various aspects not
previous connected to mainstream GCAP, e.g. the Beijing Platform for
Action, CEDAW and other instruments / agreements. Please pay particular
attention to the part on mobilization, considering our general view on
Stand Up, which is being proposed for the next three years. Also,
perhaps in light of the successes of the most recent mobilizations (or
otherwise), feel free to make comments.<SPAN

clarify--- I specifically asked on today’s call of the Strategic
Planning meeting if it is required (the Europeans were arguing that it
is not therefore give more time for review) and the answer was that a
very close to be ready draft can be submitted but that this wouldn’t get
the most positive response by funders. Funders particularly prefer a
final document for providing funding for a first time institution. The
final draft would still need to go through the Global Council, most
likely in the Dec. 15<SUP>th</SUP> meeting.<SPAN

<DIV dir=ltr>Queridas colegas, <BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Que gusto hablar con ustedes en esta mañana en la
llamada de equipo facilitador del EFT. Algunas no pudieron
estar con nosotras. Habra notas pero por ahora quiero
decirles sobre el seguimiento de una del Marco Estratégico de
GCAP. Se los envio para su revisión y de los aportes. Algunos de
ustedes puede estar familiarizado con el reporte enviado por las
secretarías regionales. La secretaría general de GCAP nos ha
proporcionado más tiempo para revisarsloy finalizarlo. Sé que los
europeos pidieron más tiempo y haran un examen al fondo del
reporte en su reunión de noviembre. Así, por esta y otras
razones, el tiempo de revisión se ha ampliado. La sección de
Derechos de la Mujer no es exhaustiva, pero es bastante buena
y incluye diversos aspectos no relacionados anteriormente
para incorporar la GCAP, por ejemplo, la Plataforma de Acción de
Beijing, CEDAW y otros instrumentos y acuerdos. Por favor, presten
atención en la parte de la movilización, teniendo en cuenta
nuestra opinión general sobre el Stand Up, que se propone para los
próximos tres años. Además, tomen en cuenta los éxitos (o no) de
las últimas movilizaciones para hacer comentarios.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR>Rápido, unos antecedentes, unos de las razones de
este documento fue para la incorporación de GCAP como una
fundación. Permítanme aclarar --- he preguntado concretamente hoy
en la reunión de la planificación estratégica si era
necesario este documento (los europeos hacen el argumento de
que no es, por lo tanto, quieren más tiempo para su revisión), y
la respuesta fue de que es necesario, pero es preferida para tener
una respuesta más positiva de los financiadores.
Financiadores en particular prefieren un documento final para la
financiación de una institución naciente. El proyecto
definitivo todavía hay que pasar por el Consejo Mundial, más
probable es que en la reunión de 15 de diciembre. Por favor,
traten de obtener comentarios antes del viernes o sino el
lunes, a más tardar, para poder retransmitirlo al grupo de la
planificación estratégica. El documento ha estado disponible
durante un par de meses y ha sido traducido a otros idiomas. Aquí
está un archivo en inglés, y en el sitio web hay en
español.</DIV></TD></TR>
