Public Development Banks Driving Gender Equality: An Overview of Practices and Measurement Frameworks

From Agence Française de Développement and UN Women. This report offers a unique perspective with concrete examples of how Public Development Banks (PDBs) have delivered on a gender equality agenda across their varied mandates, histories and methods of engagement. The report’s case-studies show both internal and external approaches and practices to tackling gender equality. It underlines and demonstrates the tremendous benefit for PDBs in understanding how to address and measure their own gender equality, either as organizations and/or with their partners, in order to create a more inclusive and equal world.
