'This document was produced by the DAC Network on Gender Equality and is intended to complement the existing DAC guidelines on gender equality. It takes the five principles of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness as entry points to make recommendations to donors and partner country governments in meeting their commitments to achieving gender equality and women's empowerment - and the overall goal of poverty reduction. The five Paris Declaration principles are: Ownership, Alignment, Harmonisation, Managing for Results, and Mutual Accountability.'
