We're proud to present the Donor Tracker's second Highlight Story of the year, which analyzes the priorities of donor countries on gender equality and women's empowerment, how much of their funding on development assistance goes toward this important topic, and in what specific ways.

This Donor Tracker 'Highlight Story' examines funding levels from 2012-2016 for five sectors that are key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as examining their future outlook. Those sectors –  agriculture, education, global health, global health R&D, and nutrition – are all 'Deep Dive' areas that the Donor Tracker analyses in addition to individual OECD donor countries. 

The COVID-19 crisis revealed the failures of the global community to adequately prepare for a pandemic and to build the strong systems and institutions necessary to facilitate a just and equitable recovery from such a crisis. 

Investments in global pandemic preparedness will be essential to ensure this does not happen again. This Donor Tracker publication provides an overview of what the largest OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) donor countries have done since the emergence of COVID-19 to elevate pandemic preparedness globally. 

This progress report outlines achievements made towards the goals of the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (EWEC Global Strategy) between September 2015 and December 2016. It further details agreed milestones to be achieved between 2018 and 2020 on the EWEC Global Strategy.
