Abstract: Abstract Governments from all regions of the world have placed a high priority on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls as a central ambition of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Ambitious financing will be needed to turn political aspirations into a reality. This chapter provides an overview of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members’ aid to gender equality since the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and identifies key priorities to mobilise the ambitious resources required to deliver on both long-established and newly won commitments on gender equality and women’s rights. This brief draws on the analysis contained in OECD (2014) Financing the unfinished business of gender equality and women’s rights: priorities for the post-2015 framework OEDC: Paris, France; and a forthcoming briefing by the OECD on Financing for women, peace and security.
