This synthesis report outlines the findings of a three-country study of efforts to incorporate gender equality objectives into the mainstream of Education Sector Wide Approaches (SWAps) in the education sector.
This report outlines the main findings of a study to determine the efforts taken and success of the incorporation of gender equality objectives into the mainstream of an education sector programme in Ghana. It is one of three similar education sector studies, the other two being Uganda and India.
This case study of Mainstreaming Gender in an Education Sector Programme in India – the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) – is one of three country studies included in a study initiated by the Working Party on Gender Equality (WP-GEN) of the Development Committee of the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development. The other country programmes included in the study are Ghana and Uganda. Similar studies in the agriculture and health sectors are being undertaken separately with funding support from WP-GEN members.
This Uganda study is one of three case studies commissioned by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD, examining the Mainstreaming of Gender through Sector Wide Approaches in Education. The other two focus on Ghana and India. The studies were commissioned in response to the recognition of the linkages between gender, poverty and education; and commitment to achieving the development targets through more effective assistance through SWAps. The three studies in education will be synthesised, and will feed into a broader study that looks also at gender mainstreaming in the health and agriculture sectors.
This event looked at issues around financial exclusion from both a developed and developing country perspective.
