Gender Equality and Female Empowerment

Promoting gender equality and advancing the status of women and girls is vital to achieving all development objectives of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID’s Regional Development Mission for Asia is committed to collaborating with a range of development partners to bridge gender inequity gaps in all programming, with a particular emphasis on the following priorities:

·      Advancing inclusive growth by strengthening women’s economic empowerment;

·      Ending gender-based violence through programming for the most vulnerable populations, with a focus on violence prevention;

·      Increasing women and girls’ voices in decision-making, leadership, and science, especially through innovative methodologies;

·      Encouraging traditional and non-traditional development partners to invest more financing and resources in programming to improve gender-based outcomes.
