Women in the private sector represent a powerful source of economic growth and opportunity. By strengthening women's roles as leaders, entrepreneurs, employees, consumers, and economic stakeholders, we can reinforce and transform the economy itself.
This is exactly what IFC is setting out to do. IFC's Women in Business (WIN) program promotes business opportunities by assisting our organization and clients to take a gender view across all areas of business. A suite of IFC investment products and advisory services has also been developed to focus on:
Increasing access to finance and access to markets for women entrepreneurs.
Reducing gender-based barriers in the business environment.
Creating business opportunities for IFC clients built around improved working conditions for female employees, woman-focused market segmentation, and the inclusion of both men and women in community relationships.
WIN is housed within the Advisory Services in Sustainable Business department of IFC. To learn more, contact the WIN team of specialists.
