Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality 2016-2020

Abstract

This document is the EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality 2016-2020. It mandates the Bank to promote behaviours, through its operations, which contribute to building equitable and sustainable economies. It aims to increase women’s economic empowerment and equality of opportunities in the countries where the EBRD invests, as an important contributor to well-functioning market economies and inclusive societies – a core component of sustainable and equitable transition. The Strategy articulates the Bank’s view that gender equality is a principal element in the promotion of sound business management and critical to the advancement of transition.
