Workshop on Development Effectiveness in Practice – Applying the Paris Declaration to Advancing Gender Equality, Environmental Sustainability and Human Rights

Send Send Print print

Dublin, 26-27 April 2007

This two-day workshop was organised by the DAC Networks on Environment and Development, Governance, and Gender Equality and the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness, with the support of the Irish and Danish Governments.

The purpose of the workshop was to increase mutual knowledge and understanding of how practitioners are applying the Paris Declaration’s overarching principles to advance gender equality, environmental sustainability and human rights. The long-term goal is to demonstrate how attention to these issues enhances development effectiveness.

The expected outcomes of the workshop are:

  • practical guidance and reference points on how to apply the overarching principles of the Paris Declaration to work on gender equality, environmental sustainability and human rights
  • increased collaboration and communication at several levels, and
  • a commitment to continued joint work amongst the DAC subsidiary bodies in the lead-up to the Third High-level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (Ghana 2008) and beyond.
