Empowering the Other Half: Women and Private Sector Growth in the Pacific
To lower the barriers to Pacific women’s participation in the private sector, a multipronged approach is needed.
Broader initiatives to ease the constraints to doing business in the Pacific should, wherever possible, include provisions to accommodate women’s specific needs to ensure their equal access and benefit. Meanwhile, dedicated projects are needed to deal with the skills and training shortcomings that limit women’s opportunities in the formal and professional sectors.
This is the approach of the PSDI and its Economic Empowerment of Women activities.
