Abstract
The evidence is clear and compelling. Supporting women's economic empowerment is one of the best investments we can make. It improves development outcomes. It strengthens the quality of policy making. And it makes good business sense to harness the potential of women as directors, executives, employees, entrepreneurs and consumers. Yet, in most countries women remain under-represented and inadequately empowered as economic actors who have equal voices, choices and opportunities with men.
