Abstract
IFC’s Gender Secretariat aims to strengthen private sector development by focusing on the role of women as
business leaders, entrepreneurs, employees, consumers, and economic stakeholders.
This approach is good for our clients and good for business overall. It is also fundamental if economic development
activities are to yield sustainable, widespread benefits in emerging markets.
In this regard, IFC works with corporations, financial institutions, government departments, and regulators, as well
as other industry players. We also collaborate with business associations, commercial mediation bodies, research
groups, and other partners in development.
The study was conducted and written for the International Finance Corporation (IFC) by MicroSave Private
Limited
