The purpose of this study is to investigate the decision of the priority partner countries-in the process of international development cooperation project―on the selection of gender equality aid field. Thus far, the gender equality budget of the recipient country has been appropriated based solely on the political intention of the donors. We have analyzed 88 countries and 19 key partner countries that could collect data on gender characteristics and corruption index. Through previous research, the countries have been divided into four types: countries with low GGI and high CPI are priority partners; countries with high GGI and low CPI are potential partners; countries with high GGI and high CPI are sustainable countries; countries with low GGI and low CPI are countries of lowly ranked cooperating countries. Analyzed result suggests the gender gap was high in both the recipient country and partner countries, especially in the political sphere. Moreover, the corruption perception index (transparency index) was remarkably low. However, compared to those of all recipient countries, priority partner countries’ gender gap index was relatively low and the corruption perception index was relatively high.
