Transport: 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.

This briefing note provides guidance on how to accelerate women’s economic empowerment through DFID’s investments in the transport sector. It is one in a series of ICED briefing notes designed to support DFID’s implementation of its Economic Development Strategy.

The note is aimed at supporting DFID advisers and programme managers working on women’s economic empowerment, infrastructure and urbanisation for economic development. It sets out tangible opportunities for transport infrastructure to deliver positive impacts for women, presenting the integration of women’s economic empowerment as an important and integral consideration for all transport infrastructure programming
