Background 

Commitments have been made on financing for gender equality and the empowerment of women by Governments at the international level, including through the Beijing Platform for Action (1995), the outcome of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly (2000), the Millennium Summit (2000), the Monterrey Consensus (2002); and the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005). However, limited progress has been made in channeling and allocating resources to translate these commitments into action. 

A large number of Governments have taken initiatives to integrate gender perspectives into their national budgets in order to reflect the differentiated needs of women and men. Despite these efforts, there are insufficient resources to adequately support policies and programmes that promote the advancement of women. 

In the area of development assistance, there has been a shift in the way it is delivered, with increased focus placed on sector-wide approaches or large programmes. Much of the funding for gender equality and the empowerment of women has been limited to the social sector, with fewer funds allocated in the agriculture, infrastructure and finance sectors. 

In addition to public finance and donor funding, funds and foundations have been established to raise resources for activities promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women. Women’s development funds have been set up in many countries and regions to fund local, national and regional organizations working towards gender equality and the empowerment of women. Private sector companies have also established foundations to provide funding for development activities, including gender equality. 

Contributions made to this online discussion will serve as a resource to the work of the Commission on the Status of Women in developing concrete recommendations on the issue of financing for gender equality and the empowerment of women. 

Themes of the online discussion 
The online discussion is scheduled to begin on 18 June 2007 and to continue for four weeks. Each of the first three weeks of the discussion will be devoted to one theme, while the last week will provide the opportunity to raise additional issues and wrap up. Further details and questions on the themes will be posted shortly on DAW’s website.
