“DAC members committed USD 190 million to women’s rights organizations and institutions in fragile countries in 2019: less than 1% of aid for gender equality. There’s more to be done...” @williams_katz presenting our latest data in this @wphfund@GlobalSpotlight event 👇@OECDdev

Financing gender equality in fragile contexts: In 2017-18, USD 2.06 billion of bilateral aid (on average per year) was dedicated to gender equality as principal objective of the programme, corresponding to only 4.5% of bilateral aid to fragile contexts. #DevTalk @OECD_SWAC

Very proud lead author of this publication. Thank you to all the women and men from the region who have shared their stories with me. I do hope that this publication can inspire change and lead to enhanced women's economic empowerment in the region and beyond.
Timely publication, which recognises the strides of national statistical agencies in the region to produce & disseminate gender statistics. It is vital to fill gaps in the data needed for measuring #SDG indicators related to women’s economic #empowerment.

Women’s employment & income generation activities are the first & most negatively affected by #COVID19. Women are over-represented in high-risk sectors; they tend to work in less tele-commutable occupations & are more likely to work in the informal economy.

Curious to learn more about gender equality in times of COVID-19 in the MENA region? Check out our latest paper. Proud to have had the chance to work with the stakeholders from the region to make this paper a reality.
