About this talk

This inaugural two-day conference examines how women's leadership influences economic, political and social outcomes and how leadership barriers can be overcome. Bringing together leading researchers, policymakers and practitioners from around the world, the conference will examine how women's leadership shapes economic, political and social outcomes, and what policies and interventions can expand women's access to leadership roles. Across keynote lectures, research presentations and panel discussions, participants will explore evidence from around the world on the barriers women face in attaining leadership positions, the effectiveness of policies designed to increase representation, and the broader impacts of women's leadership on development outcomes. The conference is held in partnership with the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), Center for Global Development (CGD), Center of Arab Women for Training and Research (CAWTAR), Asia Pacific Women in Leadership (APWiL) and Women in Economics in Latin America and the Caribbean (WELAC).
