Findings from the Gender Equality Module of the 2011 Paris Declaration Monitoring Survey

This report is based on replies by the 24 countries that chose to test the gender equality module of the 2011 Paris Declaration Monitoring Survey: Albania, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Gabon, Honduras, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Moldova, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Peru, Rwanda, Togo and Zambia. National Co-ordinators of the Paris Declaration Monitoring Survey in these countries were essential to the success of this exercise. The representatives from different government Ministries, civil society and donor agencies in countries who were consulted were also indispensable. UN Women, in particular, played an active role and supported the process in several countries.

The gender equality module’s methodology was developed by Jenny Hedman, Patti O’Neill, Robin Ogilvy and Marjolaine Nicod at the Development Co-operation Directorate, with inputs from Catherine Gaynor. Julie Seif provided administrative assistance in finalising the gender equality questionnaire and the report. Stephanie Coic designed the cover.
