Efficiency and sustainability
• Innumerable studies have proven the irrefutable fact that equal
inclusion of women and men in all aspects of sustainable development
pays off.
• Incorporating a gender approach promotes programme and
institutional efficiency through improved targeting and a more
nuanced understanding of the population involved.
• Studies have found that gender inequality harms long-term growth
(World Bank) and that there is a clear correlation between gender
equality and GDP per capita (World Economic Forum).
