  • Mitreeki 2016: Strathmore Business School, March 03-04 2016, Nairobi, Kenya
    Supported by INTEGRATING WOMEN IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Women’s economic empowerment is critical for gender equality and for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. DFID India recognises the value of peer learning and partnerships between developing countries and through its Knowledge Partnership Programme (KPP) managed by IPE Global, hopes to share Indian and global evidence on policies that impact development outcomes for women and girls and support advocacy towards strengthening policy design and implementation. MITREEKI 2016: STRATHMORE BUSINESS SCHOOL, MARCH 03-04 2016, NAIROBI, KENYA BACKGROUND Women make up one half of the world’s human capital and yet women continue to be denied control and access to resources and decision making. Thus, empowering and educating girls and women and leveraging their talent and leadership fully in the global economy, politics and society emerges as the fundamental element of prospering in an ever more competitive world. Women's exclusion from development planning is one of the major reasons of backwardness in an economy as “society that fails its women and girls, ultimately fails itself.” Gender inequality and skewed distribution of assets and power within family, workplace and socio-political institutions are both the cause and consequence of multiple forms of discrimination that tend to reproduce themselves over time and over generations thus having a negative impact on development outcomes. Women’s economic empowerment is critical for gender equality and for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As an indication of global commitment, the UN Secretary-General has set up a first-ever High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, where the Government of UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is a founding member, to provide thought leadership and mobilise concrete actions to close economic gender gaps and outcomes.
