May 2023 — This fact sheet provides an overview of FHI 360’s Economic Participation and the Environment department’s work to strengthen women’s economic security, including descriptions of projects. When women and girls thrive, so do their families, communities and countries. FHI 360 programs improve women’s economic security and leadership opportunities through integrated solutions that engage women, men and young people in shifting gender norms, reducing gender-related stigma and addressing systemic barriers to enable women to reach their full economic potential. We support women in all their diversity to improve their capacities, earnings and work experiences by creating career pathways; strengthening cooperatives and women-owned businesses; identifying and building skills; increasing digital and financial inclusion; and supporting an enabling environment through norms change, private sector engagement and policy reform.
