The quest to achieve the SDGs has undeniably led to many innovations around how best to raise funds for fully operationalising the 2030 agenda. The seeds of this were largely planted in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda1 which provided the new global framework for financing sustainable development and made recommendations for financing the development related aspects for the outcomes of the last three decades of UN Conferences. The AAAA proposed multiple pathways for raising finance some of which are extensions of traditional conventional development finance instruments, modes and processes, others are new distinctive points of departure. But amidst all these processes, there was less of a focus on the impacts of the new development financing landscape with its emerging frameworks, channels, institutions, and normative underpinnings on the long secular trend towards gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. The trend was set in place by the ongoing consolidation of more than 35 years of global commitments to gender equality and the betterment of women’s lives everywhere, but most importantly in developing countries. Those consolidated commitments were ushered in through consensus-based international agreements and frameworks that included the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Platform for Action, the Millennium Development Goals (specifically MDG-3) and, more recently, the Sustainable Development Goals (explicitly SDG5, but relatedly all the SDGs).
