| Description | The SDC financial contribution to the regional programme of the World Bank will leverage on-going gender equality efforts by national governments, non-governmental or multilateral partners, thereby contributing to enhance women’s economic situation and their social status. As a response to persistent disparities between men and women in the Western Balkans, this project analysis causes and contributes to remove barriers to equality. Through its regional approach, this project complements country initiatives on gender issues. |
