Let’s be honest, in the world of development, the private sector has not always been our partner of choice in the race to achieve gender equality. There has been a perception that business actions in this area are merely front-line measures or meagre efforts that simply impose quotas on boards of directors. These assumptions are today less and less accurate. Indeed, the private sector is increasingly interested in this issue because it makes business sense, and the time has come for governments and donors to move closer to the private sector in order to enhance their impact on gender equality and women's empowerment.
