This webinar examines the implications for women’s economic empowerment in inclusive market development based on a paper released by USAID’s Leveraging Economic Opportunities (LEO) project, presented by the report’s authors. An expert commentator from the International Labour Organization (ILO) discussed potential implications, followed by an ample question and answer session.
Immediately after the webinar, the e-discussion on women’s economic empowerment in inclusive market development kicked off on EmpowerWomen.org to continue the conversation. The experts from the webinars answered any pending questions, and participants expanded the discussion.
This webinar was part of a learning series hosted by the SEEP Network and UN Women over the first half of 2015 to promote engagement with key experts on conceptual and practical issues around gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in inclusive market systems.
