Project Description
The overall goal of the project is to improve economic empowerment of women in the Pacific. This will be done by:
- Working with selected private sector clients to develop identified firm specific business case initiatives aimed at improving opportunities
for women and assisting with implementation of a new gender specific practice improving conditions for their female employees.
- Assisting with the establishment of a business coalition for women. The business coalition will be a forum for peer to peer
learning
and a platform for public-private dialogue. The initiative will facilitate connections between businesses to demonstrate through policy, practice and profit that women's economic empowerment is smart economics.
- Working across IFC and with the
WB, the project
will support transformative impact in the Pacific primarily based on a WBG joint sector study identifying opportunities for women.
