Aid in support of gender equality

Aid in support of gender equality means projects registered in the aid statistics with the marker Gender equality as a main objective or significant objective. In projects where gender equality is a main goal, the project would not have been initiated if gender equality had not been a consideration. In projects where gender equality is a significant objective, the objective is important, but it is not the main objective.

The aid is limited to earmarked support, which means that core support to multilateral organisations is not included. This is because there are no official statistics concerning gender equality-related core support to multilateral organisations. The presented overview therefore does not provide a comprehensive overview of Norway’s overall gender equality-related aid.
