Gender Equality in Investment Design Good Practice Note

DFAT requires new aid investments valued at $3 million and over to include a gender equality outcome, regardless of sector. This Good Practice Note helps DFAT staff meet this requirement and integrate gender equality into program design. It also supports staff to implement Australia’s development strategy Partnerships for Recovery: Australia’s COVID-19 Development Response, which commits the Australian Government to maintaining Australia’s strong support and advocacy for initiatives to enhance gender equality and address gender-based violence, and to invest in gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.
