  8. Needs for gender cross-cutting to HLF4 Lacks of Gender Perspectives of PD and AAA Low levels of integrations of women’s rights and gender equality into the national development planning and budgeting (not only recipient but also donor countries as well) Gender equality and women’s rights are not fully included into the development paradigm Majority of development NGOs based on charity and religious perspectives and also not familiar with the RBA and GE

  9. How to make alternative development paradigm for the future?: ’MBA’ • To Recognize of gender equality, environmental sustainability and respect for human rights, as cornerstones for development: by treating policy priority issues as sectors with indicators and specific resources allocated in national budgets. • To build democratic, inclusive, multi-stakeholder approach and clear mechanisms for the participations of women’s rights organizations as part of civil society. • To align the PD/AAA implementation with international agreed development goals including MDGs, CEDAW, BPFA, UN Security Council Resolution 1325 etc. • To make government’s Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRS) focused on the gender equality and women’s rights.
