About

This seminar aims to discuss the results of the Study, funded by Camões, I.P., which aims to provide Portuguese Cooperation with clues and tools for a more effective inclusion of Gender Equality in the pursuit of strategies, programmes and projects in the field of Development Cooperation.

It will present an analysis of post-2015 advances and setbacks in efforts to integrate the Gender Equality agenda into development cooperation policies, in the wake of the Evaluation of the Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality in Portuguese Cooperation (2018), as well as recommendations and tools to enhance the integration of Gender Equality in Portuguese Cooperation.
