Cover Story: By developing a comprehensive theoretical model that allows us to examine the effects of gender-related aid while accounting for both positive and potential negative impacts of shifts toward gender parity, we demonstrate that significant gender-related aid (SGRA), which integrates gender considerations into broader development projects, consistently reduces gender inequality, as does principal gender-related aid (PGRA), though with notable differences in terms of effectiveness. Given that gender equality is essential for a just and prosperous society—driving economic growth, political stability, and social cohesion—continued investment in these initiatives is crucial.
