The EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Development and Peace, of which UNIFEM is a part, conducted a number of mapping studies on aid effectiveness, gender equality and women's empowerment in 12 countries. This series of regional reports examines to what extent national gender equality priorities are reflected in national development strategies, donor country strategies and mechanisms for implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness at country level. It also analyses the implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. (Additional regional reports coming soon.)
