Evaluation of DFID development assistance: gender equality and women's empowerment (pdf 180kb)

This working paper is an interim output from the Department for International Development's (DFID's) evaluation of gender equality policy and programming.

The methods used for this work were a desk inquiry, a field visit to DFID Bangladesh, and consultations with key DFID staff working on gender through a Reference Panel.

It presents key findings such as the growing importance since 2000 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in DFID's work, which has narrowed the focus of gender equality policy to social sectors, such as girls' education and maternal health.
