Empowering Women in Business (GenderCLIR)
Overview
The GenderCLIR diagnostic identifies and analyzes legal and institutional challenges specific to women entrepreneurs. Women are more likely to spend their income on education, health, and nutrition for their families, providing investment in some of a country's most important sectors for human capital development and creating a multiplier effect on a country's economy. GenderCLIR offers organizational design assessments focusing on strengthening institutions that support entrepreneurial women, as well as business enabling environment assessments that analyze gender issues across seven areas: social customs and women's role in society, the private sector, labor, credit, property, trade, and commercial justice. GenderCLIR recommendations enable USAID Missions to integrate gender considerations seamlessly into economic growth programming, empowering women by reforming policies and strengthening institutions that create job opportunities.
Full indicators and descriptions are under development and will be available soon.
