Case study. Increased investment in gender equality through financial commitments

In 2021, Generation Equality mobilized an impressive $40 billion in financial commitments, which survey data show has increased by at least another $7 billion since then, yet the nature of these financial commitments and self-reporting processes have made the true aggregate sum difficult to track. Multiple factors can lead to potential duplication or misunderstanding about new funding that can be attributed to Generation Equality and funding modalities. This case study analyses the nature of Generation Equality’s financial commitments, drawing insights from both the survey data and interviews with key informants from the Ford Foundation and the Government of Finland.
