WiW Employment Phase II

completed

The project is aiming to scale up the business case for gender equality among more Sri Lankan companies and to develop the capacity of a local partner to continue to support Sri Lankan businesses to foster gender equality after IFC exits. The project will work with at least 30 private sector firms across the project activities, with sector and firm level activities, to achieve the objective of helping companies to better recruit, retain and promote women, and to address the potential negative impacts of C-19 on women’s employment in Sri Lanka. It will do this through at least one peer learning platform (component 1), firm level deep-dives utilizing the EDGE tool and to create new childcare solutions for clients (component 2), as well as through new knowledge products to provide the evidence base for creating respectful workplaces and addressing bullying and harassment in the workplace in Sri Lanka (component 3).
