Promoting women's economic
empowerment is increasingly seen as an important driving
force behind economic growth and the fight against poverty.
Women's economic participation as entrepreneurs,
employees, and leaders is recognized as a measure of a
country's economic viability and dynamism. The guide
starts with a brief section on the economic rationale for
gender inclusion in investment climate reform work. It is
then divided into nine modules. Recognizing the
socioeconomic dimensions of gender-focused work, the core
module outlines the broader, overarching framework within
which gender-informed investment climate work can take
place. It also focuses on the monitoring and evaluation
framework, with particular emphasis on establishing
appropriate baselines to facilitate the measurement of
gender-informed changes in the business environment. The
eight thematic modules provide specific guidance on key
investment climate issues comprising: (i) public-private
dialogue, (ii) business start-up and operation, (iii)
business taxation, (iv) trade logistics, (v) secured
lending, (vi) alternative dispute resolution, (vii) special
economic zones, and (viii) foreign investment policy and
promotion. Thematic modules are designed to guide the reader
through the project cycle and present the three-step
process: (a) diagnostic, (b) solution design, and (c)
implementation and monitoring and evaluation. |
