Ideas to action: independent research for global prosperity
Advancing Women in IFI Leadership
![](/sites/default/files/Advancing_women_IFI_Leadership_project_header.jpg)
CGD’s Advancing Women in IFI Leadership project is focused on producing evidence-based analysis to help advance women’s participation in leadership and decision-making across international financial institutions (IFIs). The project aims to highlight what works and what doesn’t work—and show how proposed solutions would be implemented—to center women’s role in development decision-making.
