Training objectives and content

The ICR Facility recognises that gender sensitive reform of the complex policy, legal, institutional, and regulatory conditions that govern business activities has the potential to support the process of women’s economic empowerment.To that end, the training aims to help promote understanding of, and support for, gender sensitive BER in ACP countries. It will equip organisations that request technical assistance from the ICR Facility, as well as the consultants who deliver such assistance, with knowledge of gender sensitive BER along with case studies and lessons learned from across the ACP regions. Additionally, it can help contribute to the growth of a WEE-focused community of practice and the development of ‘WEE champions’ in ACP.
