Commitments and opportunities

Members of the Alliance for Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Recovery for Ukraine acknowledge that achieving gender equality, inclusion, women’s empowerment and their full, equal, effective, and meaningful participation in decision-making is key to achieving inclusive recovery, reconstruction and development in Ukraine, by committing to:

INTEGRATING A GENDER PERSPECTIVE INTO FUNDING AND RESOURCES FOR RECOVERY:

  1. By increasing the share of funding to recovery projects or programmes in Ukraine that advance gender equality, the empowerment and protection of women and girls as a principal or significant objective; applying the OECD DAC’s gender policy marker; monitoring, tracking and reporting on the allocation of funds.

ENSURING WOMEN’S FULL AND EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION AND REPRESENTATION

  1. By supporting women’s and women’s rights organisations’ full, equal and meaningful participation in decision-making on recovery and reconstruction at all levels, including in the Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform (MDCP) for Ukraine, future Ukraine Recovery Conferences (URCs), sectoral, national, regional and local recovery and development planning processes.

PRIORITIZING WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND NEEDS

  1. By delivering financial and technical assistance that meet the needs of women and girls and advances their rights, through the use of tools of gender-responsive planning and budgeting; and financing gender-responsive projects identified and/or stated in the Ukraine Plan and in the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA).
