Generation Equality accountability report 2024
Generation Equality is a global initiative that aims to drive change through a multigenerational and multi-stakeholder approach, focusing on key issues like equal pay, fair distribution of unpaid care work, eradicating gender-based violence, healthcare access, and increasing women’s political participation.
The third edition of the “Generation Equality accountability report” presents findings from the 2024 Commitments Reporting Survey. A year after the 2023 mid-point assessment, 53 per cent of commitment makers reported on 71 per cent of their commitments—a significant 40 percentage point increase from 2022. Notably, 165 commitment makers reported for the first time, reflecting growing engagement and accountability. This momentum is further evidenced by the USD 50.3 billion pledged towards gender equality by governments, the private sector, and multilateral organizations. Additionally, the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action (WPS-HA) highlighted that global instability affected 52 per cent of signatories, prompting 42 per cent to intensify efforts in conflict-affected regions.
The report underscores Generation Equality’s critical role in advancing gender equality within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An overwhelming 94 per cent of commitment makers advocate for scaling up Generation Equality’s actions beyond 2026. The accountability report illustrates how Generation Equality has become a powerful catalyst, aligning with the vision of the 2024 Summit of the Future, particularly in promoting effective global cooperation and accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
