Participants from DCF stakeholder groups (provider countries / recipient countries / civil society and parliamentarians / UN system) are expected to brainstorm within their respective groups on how to advance gender equality in light of new challenges faced by development cooperation, including the transition to sustainable development and the coordination among different actors, approaches and flows to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women. Each group is expected to present their unique perspective and policy recommendations in this regard to the plenary in the beginning of the afternoon session. Groups will manage themselves, usually by appointing one.
