Summary
The ambitious vision for achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls in the post-2015 agenda requires unprecedented and transformative financing, in scale, scope and quality, from all sources and at all levels. This high level side event will mobilize political leadership and support to significantly increase resources to reverse the chronic underinvestment in gender equality and women’s empowerment; close the financing gaps; and accelerate the implementation of new and existing commitments. Through a dynamic and interactive dialogue with high-level representatives from government, multilateral organizations, and civil society, it will identify and examine key and specific policy and financing actions to translate commitments in the Addis Ababa Accord and Action Agenda into prioritized, well-resourced actions for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
