Abstract
The Millennium Declaration endorsed by the world’s governments in September 2000 recog- nizes that gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are among the most effective ways to “combat poverty, hunger and disease and to stimulate development that is truly sustain- able.”1 At the World Summit in September 2005, governments reaffirmed their conviction that “progress for women is progress for all.”2 This paper (a) analyzes the progress of developing countries in Asia and the Pacific toward achieve- ment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that explicitly promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; (b) examines the gender dimensions of countries’ progress toward the other MDGs; and (c) rec- ommends future directions that countries and their development partners can take to make more consistent and sustainable progress in clos- ing gender gaps and empowering women and girls in the region.
