PFW recently responded to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposed strategy for mainstreaming gender equality. We are delighted to see the proposal and supportive of its overall direction of travel for mainstreaming gender equality into the lending, funds surveillance and capacity development operations of the IMF. The strategic vision is ambitious, but has a clear focus on closing the macro economic critical gaps and provides a clear plan for implementation. Whilst the strategy is quite rightly focused on gender, it should not be seen in isolation from other equalities characteristics such as race, ethnicity disability, social mobility etc. Our full response is attached.
