Mid-term Review of the NUFU sub-programme Women’s Rights and Gender Equality

Abstract

Women’s Rights and Gender Equality is a sub-programme of the Norwegian Programme for Development, Research and Education (NUFU). The sub-programme started in 2009 and is expected to end in 2013. Five projects were funded where Norwegian universities work with partners in Tanzania, Malawi, Ethiopia, South Africa and Palestine. The programme has been successful, and has contributed to individual and institutional capacity on women’s rights and gender equality directly and mainstreamed into areas such as agricultural production and food science, education and maternal health. The report recommends that women’s rights and gender equality is included as one of the priority topics also in future university cooperation programmes.
