Women's Economic Empowerment Event

Oxfam Canada and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), in collaboration with Global Affairs Canada, are joining forces to convene a collaboration workshop to identify opportunities for taking a feminist approach to, and scaled action on, women’s economic empowerment. Drawing on the complementary experience of Oxfam and IDRC, as well as the deep experience and expertise of Canadian and international participants, our ambition is to take stock of best practice and start to identify opportunities for scaled action for robust programming and Canadian leadership on women’s economic empowerment.
