Abstract:
Gender is a key cross-cutting strategic theme under IFC 3.0 and is included as part of IFC’s capital commitments. IFC (International Finance Corporation) has long taken a comprehensive approach to reduce gender inequality—from supporting opportunities and improved working conditions for women employees, helping expand access to financial services for women, investing in innovative technologies that expand choices of female consumers, and supporting business skills and leadership training for women entrepreneurs. As part of the recent capital increase, IFC has committed to: • quadrupling financing for women and women-led SMEs. • increasing representation of women on boards. • more than doubling commitments to financial institutions targeting women. • systematically integrating gender into projects. By improving how gender is integrated in INR projects, IFC can further demonstrate its commitment to improving gender equality globally. In a brief document we have a literature item, but also a quick good practices, possibly replicable.
