SDG National Commitments Form: Submission #17

Please outline briefly the commitment(s) made in the areas outlined above We are establishing feminist policy as a guiding principle of German development and foreign policy in order to advance gender equality and achieve equal participation by all people in social, political and economic life.

• By 2025, Germany will increase its share of new pledged funds for projects that promote gender equality to 93 percent.

• Germany will drive forward the gender-transformative implementation of the 2030 Agenda, e.g. through the UN Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI) or the multi-stakeholder partnership 'Generation Equality'. In the framework of this partnership, in addition to a contribution of €240 million, in 2021 Germany took on a leading function in the Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights. Germany is further supporting the Feminist Network for Gender Transformative Education (FemNet4GTE).

• Germany is strengthening the achievement of sexual and reproductive health and rights for all people in all their diversity, including by supporting key international partners like UNFPA, the Global Financing Facility (GFF) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Additionally, through the Initiative on Rights-based Family Planning and Reproductive Health for All, Germany has provided an average €100 million annually in recent years for projects in partner countries.

• To improve access to justice for women and marginalised groups, Germany is supporting, for example, the Gender Justice Platform, the Justice Action Coalition and the regional project on promotion of the rule of law and the judiciary in Africa.
