Incorporating Gender Policy In USAID Programs Is 'Good Business Practice'
USAID Deputy Administrator Ambassador Donald Steinberg writes in the White House Council on Women and Girls blog, "I am proud to say that USAID" last week released "a new policy on gender quality and female empowerment, the Agency's first in 30 years," "achieving great strides and reaffirming our commitment to close the gender gap in international development." He continues, "From Presidential initiatives like Feed the Future (FtF), the Global Health Initiative (GHI), and Global Climate Change to the full range of the Agency's programs, we are ensuring that gender is not just being included, but fully incorporated. Eliminating gender bias and empowering women isn't just a question of fairness or equity: it's simply good business practice" (3/5).
