Statistics based on DAC Members’ reporting on the Gender Equality Policy Marker, 2013-2014
Creditor Reporting System database
DEFINITION
THE GENDER EQUALITY POLICY MARKER
DEFINITION
An activity should be classified as gender equality focused (score Principal or Significant) if:
It is intended to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment or reduce discrimination and inequalities based on sex.
CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY Gender equality is explicitly promoted in activity documentation through specific measures which:
a) Reduce social, economic or political power inequalities between women and men, girls and boys, ensure that women benefit equally with men from the activity, or compensate for past discrimination; or
b) Develop or strengthen gender equality or anti-discrimination policies, legislation or institutions.
This approach requires analysing gender inequalities either separately or as an integral part of agencies’ standard procedures.
EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL ACTIVITIES
Examples of activities that could be marked as principal objective:
-- legal literacy for women and girls; -- male networks against gender violence; -- a social safety net project which focuses specifically on assisting women and girls as a particularly disadvantaged group in a society; -- capacity building of Ministries of Finance and Planning to incorporate gender equality objectives in national poverty reduction or comparable strategies.
Such activities can target women specifically, men specifically or both women and men. Examples of activities that could be marked as significant
objective:
-- activity which has as its principal objective to provide drinking water to a district or community while at the same time ensuring that women and girls have safe and easy access to the facilities; -- a social safety net project which focuses on the community as a whole and ensures that women and girls benefit equally with men and boys.
N.B. Support to women’s equality organisations and institutions (CRS sector code 15170) scores, by definition, principal objective.
OVERVIEW
Gender Equality Focus of DAC Members’ Aid by Sector Average annual value of commitments in 2013-2014
constant 2013 USD 33.9 billion
Coverage – All DAC members report on the gender equality focus of their aid. As from 2010 data, the
calculation of allocable aid is no longer based on sectors but on types of aid. This new methodology slightly extends the scope of aid screened, mainly with the inclusion of humanitarian aid. The calculation includes the following types of aid: sector budget support, core support to NGOs, support to specific funds managed by international organisations, pooled funding, projects, donor country personnel and other technical assistance, and scholarships in donor country. The term bilateral allocable aid in this publication refers to this new methodology.
This chart is based on commitment data, which best reflect current policies by donors. A two-year average is given, as the focus and volume of commitments vary from year to year. DAC members use a ‘marker’ to identify activities that have gender equality as a principal or significant objective. Reporting has strongly improved over the years, and although some members encounter difficulties in applying the methodology, the currently available data nevertheless give a reliable indication of the extent to which those donors that report address gender equality in their aid programmes.

Humanitarian Aid
AID AT A GLANCE - DONORS' CHARTS
The following charts (2013-2014) summarise statistics on aid focused on gender equality and women’s empowerment extended by each DAC member. Information shown includes the gender equality policy marker coverage, the top ten recipients and a sector breakdown of aid focused on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Guidance for the interpretation of the charts: The first element to take into account when analysing the data for one country or when comparing data between countries is the COVERAGE RATIO, i.e. the proportion of aid which is screened. A high percentage of gender equality focused aid ALONE does not mean that aid is well aligned with the gender equality policy objective, such a conclusion would only be valid for a donor with 100% coverage. When comparing data between donors, both coverage ratio and % of aid focused on gender equality and women’s empowerment have to be considered. (A number of members do not screen contributions that are by nature likely to fall under the “not targeted” category, e.g. imputed student costs. Therefore, a high amount in the category “not screened” generally increases the percentage of gender equality focused aid significantly.)

2013-2014 average (2013 USD million)
Note: An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and fundamental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was screened for promoting gender equality, but was found to not be targeted to it.

Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment2013-2014
(1)
Investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment is vital for improving economic, social and political conditions in developing countries within the framework
of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total effectiveness of
aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
Not all activities have been screened against the gender marker: the coverage ratio for bilateral allocable activities is 88%.

framework of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total
effectiveness of aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
Not all activities have been screened against the gender marker: the coverage ratio for bilateral allocable activities is 85%.

Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment2013-2014
(1)
Investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment is vital for improving economic, social and political conditions in developing countries within the
framework of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total
effectiveness of aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
Not all activities have been screened against the gender marker: the coverage ratio for bilateral allocable activities is 94%.

Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment2013-2014
(1)
Investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment is vital for improving economic, social and political conditions in developing countries within the
framework of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total
effectiveness of aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
Not all activities have been screened against the gender marker: the coverage ratio for bilateral allocable activities is 99%.

Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment2013-2014
(1)
Investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment is vital for improving economic, social and political conditions in developing countries within the
framework of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total
effectiveness of aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
All activities have been screened against the gender marker: the gender coverage ratio is thus 100%.

Aid in Support of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment2013-2014
(1)
Investment in gender equality and women’s empowerment is vital for improving economic, social and political conditions in developing countries within the
framework of sustainable development. A focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment in development co-operation is a means for enhancing the total
effectiveness of aid (2).
An activity can target gender equality as a "principal objective" or "significant objective". Principal means gender equality was an explicit objective of the activity and
fundemental in its design. Significant means gender equality was an important, but secondary, objective of the activity. Not targeted means that the activity was
screened for promoting gender equality, but was not found to have targeted it.
Not all activities have been screened against the gender marker: the coverage ratio for bilateral allocable activities is 98%.
