From 3 to 5 October 2011, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and UN Women hosted a joint Conference on Women’s Economic Empowerment. The Conference focused on ways of supporting economies to fully advance women’s empowerment, and on identifying the tools needed by women to genuinely participate in and benefit from gender-responsive inclusive growth and development.
The conference brought together approximately 100 invited participants, representing a broad range of ideas, skills and expertise. It provided a venue for entrepreneurs, thinkers, and policy makers from both the developing and developed worlds to exchange ideas and identify forward-looking practical steps to address the evolving needs of women internationally.
