Integrating gender into trade capacity-building programs in the Middle East and Asia : guidance for program design and implementation
Abstract
This document aims to help development professionals design trade capacity-building programs that respond to the clear-cut case for equalizing economic conditions for men and women. A growing body of evidence shows that improving opportunities for women to become wage-earners, entrepreneurs, traders, professionals, and leaders improves not only their individual livelihoods, but also the prosperity and well-being of societies. As the largest single-country provider of trade capacity-building assistance in the world, the United States has long supported efforts across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia to access the global trading system and embrace trade as an engine of growth and development. At the same time, the United States is deeply committed to inclusive systems for economic growth that enable men and women alike to seize the opportunities inherent in an open, dynamic, and market-based economy.
