Beyond mainstreaming Advancing gender impact in the EBRD's new Gender and Inclusion Strategy

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) recognises gender equality and economic inclusion as central pillars of sustainable and democratic development. The EBRD’s Strategic and Capital Framework embeds these priorities at the core of the EBRD’s strategy. This commitment is operationalised through flagship initiatives such as the Women in Business programme, the Gender Equality in Climate Action initiative, the care economy investment pilot programme, inclusive procurement models, investments in gender-responsive infrastructure, and targeted policy reforms.
