meaning of the phrase "in all EC development cooperation"

[Klpno]

Hello everyone
I'd like to ask about the meaning of the phrase "in all EC development cooperation" in the following context.

Ms A., confirmed the EC’s commitment to gender equality, noting that it had identified the four key areas for providing support to gender equality and development cooperation as
(1) financial support, (2) capacity building, (3) sharing of information and best practices, and (4) improvement of internal processes. To this effect the EC sees gender equality as an objective in its own right and gender impact assessments will be carried out systematically in all EC development cooperation.

EC stands for European Comission.
Does the phrase "in all EC development cooperation" mean "during all the period of EC development cooperation" or does it mean "in all areas/aspects of cooperation"?

I suppose it means both, practically speaking, but 'all aspects' is the main intent.
