The World Bank Group’s new Gender Strategy delineates the support that the Bank Group will provide to client countries and companies to achieve greater gender equality as a key pathway toward lasting poverty reduction and shared security and prosperity. This strategy builds on past achievements and raises the bar on gender equality by focusing on how the Bank Group can move beyond mainstreaming to an approach that identifies outcomes and monitors results of World Bank Group- supported interventions in client countries. The strategy recognizes that job and assets are key levers of change for women, their communities, and economies and fundamental drivers of economic growth and poverty reduction. Closing the gender gaps in health and education and enhancing women’s voice and agency are also identified as key to achieving gender equality.
