Description
The IMF is launching its very first Gender Mainstreaming Strategy. Mainstreaming gender at the IMF starts with the recognition that many aspects of gender disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and decision-making roles are macro-critical and that economic and financial policies can exacerbate or narrow these gaps. The vision is to integrate gender into the IMF’s core activities—surveillance, lending, and capacity development—in accordance with its mandate, with the goal to help IMF members foster resilient and inclusive economies by supporting them in addressing gender gaps and improving women’s economic empowerment.
The presentation by Ms Ratna Sahay, Senior Advisor on Gender at IMF, will elaborate on the strategy and its key pillars. This will be followed by a discussion with DDG Martin Seychell.
