Welcome to the United Nations
Forum of women's NGOs of Kyrgyzstan
An adequate and effective financing is essential to achieve gender equality and women and girls´ empowerment. Countries made significant commitments to allocate means of implementation for the women's rights and gender equality within the Agenda 2030. Many of these commitments need much more efforts from all development partners: governments, Parliaments, local decision making bodies, donors, civil society organizations. Now only 19% of governments have systems to track and make public gender-related allocations.
The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation 2019 Progress Report indicates that 57% governments do not allocate adequate resources to support gender-equality activities, which signals an important policy implementation gap. The session will raise urgent issues of concern regarding effective implementation of the SDG 5 - financing and budgeting women's rights and gender equality as part of the SDG 5c1 indicator discussion. Data from countries will be discussed and recommendations developed to address the gaps. During the session champions among countries successfully working on tracking budget allocation for women's rights and gender equality and making them public and transparent will be highlighted. Data shows that financing gaps are sometimes as high as 90% with critical shortfalls in infrastructure, productive and economic sectors.
The session will highlight important policy implementation gaps for making transparent and public allocation of adequate resources to support women's rights and gender quality actions. It will lead to a Call for ways forward to improve effectiveness of SDG # 5 in countries by reforming systems and improving public allocations for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
