In October 2015, the international community will mark 15 years since the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. This was the first landmark decision to place women’s interests and concerns at the centre of the international peace and security agenda.
Greater political attention at the international level has contributed to a rise in aid in support of gender equality in fragile states and economies. However, financial resources fall short of political commitments and the translation of commitments into progress on the ground remains a challenge.
This brief is a contribution to the 15th anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and an input to the Global Study on the implementation of Resolution 1325. It provides an overview of OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members’ aid to gender equality in fragile states and economies, and identifies financing gaps which need to close if ambitious commitments are to be realised in practice.
