Authors

Abstract

The incorporation of the gender perspective in the strategies of Spanish cooperation for development has been a priority since its inception in the early 1990s. The actions undertaken, both in legislative and institutional matters, have strengthened the actions of the Government of Spain in matters of gender equality both in its national policy and in its foreign policy. However, the expected results have not been produced regarding the incorporation of the gender approach in the strategies carried out by the Spanish cooperation for development. Therefore, this research work aims to analyze the process of incorporating the gender approach in Spanish cooperation, highlighting the progress and challenges of such incorporation in cooperation strategies, and above all, highlighting the importance of incorporating the approach of gender in international cooperation plans and programs for development within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
