Progress on women’s empowerment From technical fixes to political action

Women’s empowerment has been a feature of development assistance since the 1990s. Given the conti... more Women’s empowerment has been a feature of development assistance since the 1990s. Given the continued resistance to ‘gender issues’ in some parts of the development community, this alone is an achievement. At the same time, feminists worldwide have made a sustained critique of the dominant approach to women’s empowerment. Gender specialists express concern that global support for women’s empowerment quickly waned after the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing as new (and old) policy agendas returned to the fore (Eyben, 2008; Molyneux, 2007). There is widespread agreement that gender mainstreaming, the most prominent legacy November 2014

The Feminist Open Government (FOGO) Initiative was created to generate research, data, and practical tools to support OGP members in better using OGP as a mechanism to advance gender equality. This Gender Toolkit was produced based on several pieces of research that started under the FOGO Initiative and has continued within OGP’s broader gender and inclusion efforts.

This Gender Toolkit was developed based on action research led by CARE International
and CARE Philippines, which focused on the participation of women’s rights organizations
in the Philippines’ fifth NAP co-creation process in 2019. The research was conducted by
a 3-person team including Rebecca Haines, Tam O’Neil, and Kara Medina. The research was funded by the Feminist Open Government (FOGO) Initiative. The full findings of the CARE research can be found at: Haines, Rebecca, Tam O’Neil, and Kara Medina (2021). ‘Opening Open Government: Women’s Rights Organisations and the Open Government Partnership in the Philippines’.

Opening Open Government: Women’s Rights Organisations and the Open Government Partnership in the Philippines

by Tam O'Neil, Rebecca Haines, and Kara Medina

Opening Open Government: Women’s Rights Organisations and the Open Government Partnership in the Philippines, 2023

This action research was commissioned as part of the OGP’s Feminist Open Government initiative, and explored the interventions and practical tools which could increase the meaningful participation of WROs in the creation of National Action Plans.

The Philippines case study showed that targeted support to women’s rights organisations improves gender integration into OGP co-creation processes and Action Plans. Logistical and financial support, as well as collaboration with OGP Philippines government counterparts, led to a greater presence of women’s rights organisations and activists in the commitment consultation process. Representatives of women’s rights organisations actively participated in the OGP multi-stakeholder consultations, contributing new perspectives and priorities on gender equality and inclusion, and resulting in progress on mainstreaming gender in the fifth Philippines OGP National Action Plan.
