Economic Policies for Women-Led Development (EPWD)

 

EPWD is a network dedicated to advancing Women-led Development. It is a joint initiative of ICRIER, UNDP India and the Gates Foundation. The objective of the network is to enable the positioning of gender as a macro-critical issue, imperative for India’s economic growth.

Under its G20 presidency, India initiated the mainstreaming of gender into economic policy discussions by shifting the focus from “women’s development” to “women-led development”.  In this new paradigm, women are not simply seen as beneficiaries but as drivers of growth and development.
