Infrastructure as a game-changer for women’s economic empowerment

This work was carried out under the Infrastructure and Cities for Economic Development (ICED) facility.

ICED supported DFID country offices, central teams and ODA-spending Other Government Departments to deliver DFID’s Economic Development Strategy by scaling up programming and investment in infrastructure and cities. It operated between February 2016 and July 2019.

In September 2016, the UN Secretary General launched the first ever report by the High Level Panel on women’s economic empowerment. The ICED facility was instrumental in ensuring this report recognised the potential role of infrastructure as a game-changer for women’s economic empowerment.
