Abstract
This thesis will undertake to ascertain the importance assigned to gender equality within
the aid effectiveness architecture, and specifically within the Paris Declaration on Aid
Effectiveness. It will seek to critically analyse the interplay of gender equality with three
key components of the architecture- its parties, process and priorities. Using an
international feminist legal lens, this critical analysis will seek to interrogate why the
advancement of gender equality continues to remain excluded from the ongoing
international development discourse, yet, it is argued that people-centered development
will only be realised if it remains at the heart of international development law, policy
and practice.
