Aid Effectiveness

This study provides a review from a gender perspective of the current status of, and issues around, the application of the aid and development effectiveness agenda and the five principles of the Paris Declaration – ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results, and accountability – in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). It provides information and analysis on the extent to which national priorities for achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment are reflected in the Palestinian National Development Plan 2011-2013 (PNDP) and in sector strategies and the extent to which gender equality and women’s empowerment is embedded in donor and aid coordination activities and in different aid modalities. The report presents recommended actions to strengthen the gender perspective in aid and development effectiveness for donors, national partners and other development actors, including the United Nations.
