Summary
The AusAID 2009 Annual Thematic Performance Review for rural development found that the extent to which aid programs advanced gender equality remained a challenge.
Description
An Effective Aid Program for Australia: Making a real difference–Delivering real results states that empowering women to participate in the economy is critical to opening up development opportunities for all. The food security and rural development portfolio aims to improve incomes, employment and enterprise opportunities for poor women and men, so both objectives are linked. This stocktake:
- assessed the capacity of the programs to address gender equality issues
- provided advice on ways of enhancing gender equality to improve development outcomes for poor women and men, girls and boys.
