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.
