Policy Brief: Feminist Development Policy: Advice on Implementing Human Rights-Based and Gender-Transformative Development Cooperation

  • Dr. Angela Heucher
  • Lea Smidt
  • Lena Taube

Following Germany’s change of government in 2021, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) published its first feminist development-policy goals: to eliminate structural inequalities and discrimination against women, girls and other marginalised groups in the long term. The BMZ's feminist development policy builds on existing strategies, including those for gender equality, human rights and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Based on DEval evaluations on these topics, this policy brief examines the extent to which German development cooperation already includes key features of feminist development policy. It also provides specific advice on how these can be better incorporated into development cooperation practice.
