| It is now generally recognised that gender equality is essential for sustained economic growth and for democracy, peace and security. The book presents key thinking on a topic that isof great international concern: how to ensure that sufficient financial resources are available both through the new aid modalities and from domestic sources to effect the necessary changes to make gender equality a reality. The chapters cover a range of issues around financing gender equality, including implementation of the aid agenda, the implications for gender equality of financing HIV and AIDS interventions, the impacts of trade policies on key sources of financing and womens need for equal access to affordable finance. Of particular concern is the importance of tracking the gender impact of aid resources (including post-conflict aid) through mechanisms such as gender-responsive budgets and aid effectiveness approaches. The contributors, all of them development practitioners though from diverse backgrounds, share one common goal: to influence governments, bilateral and multilateral organisations to scale up their commitments to financing gender equality and thus not only make a real difference to the lives of women around the world but also reduce poverty and promote sustainable development.
