Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Third Development Policy Action Plan on Gender Equality (2023–27)

Gender equality is a human right. One that has not been fully achieved in any country in the world thus far, however. Throughout the globe, people are discriminated against on the basis of their gender, their ethnic or social origin, a disability or for other reasons. And yet we all know that societies are more stable, peaceful and sustainable when everyone is able to participate equally and self-determinedly in social, political and economic life. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is therefore realigning its development policy.
