On this newly-launched website, you can access video of all sessions, links to the 35+ presentations, related articles and websites, and an overview of this one and a half day symposium that marked the closing of the World Bank's Gender Action Plan (GAP) and sparked discussion on how to scale up women's economic empowerment and gender equality going forward, within the Bank and beyond.
Sessions focused on: trade and gender; entrepreneurship; access to finance/private sector development; tools, indicators and data sets that can be used to gender-inform and analyze projects from a gender perspective; women's labor market participation; women and agriculture; infrastructure; "school to work" programs and youth employment; safety nets and gender; and crises avoidance and response.
