Countries and companies can be competitive only if they
develop, attract and retain the best talent, both male and
female. While governments have an important role to
play in creating the right policy framework for improving
women’s access and opportunities, it is also the imperative
of companies to create workplaces where the best talent
can flourish. Civil society, educators and media also have
an important role to play in both empowering women and
engaging men in the process.
