<strong>About</strong>

Philanthropy’s role in advancing sustainable development and in particular its support for gender equality attracts a lot of attention. However, few figures are available to date on the volumes, patterns and features of philanthropic flows supporting gender equality.

To address this lack of reliable and comparable data, the OECD Global Network of Foundations Working for Development (netFWD) and its Gender Working Group, chaired by Fondation CHANEL, produced the Policy Note <a href="http://www.oecd.org/site/netfwd/Final_Gender_WG_Policy_Note_7319.pdf">“Insights on Philanthropy for Gender Equality”</a>. The Policy Note calls into question long-held assumptions about the volume, nature and potential of foundations’ engagement in developing countries, and the role they can play to support the SDG 5.

This event will present the data and fresh perspectives on how to optimise philanthropy’s role in support of gender equality.
