Consortium Régional pour la Recherche en Economie Générationnelle

Through demand-driven research, Consortium Régional pour la Recherche en Economie Générationnelle (CREG) informs the development of economic and social policies that integrate women's empowerment and harness a demographic dividend in east and central African countries. Over the next few years, CREG will build on its proven track record to sensitize and train policymakers, sectorial ministries, parliamentarians, and civil society on gendered economic analysis and establish national Demographic Dividend observatories with a focus on Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, and Togo. This grant will enable CREG to deepen these focal areas and its cross-country collaboration. (Strategy: International Women's Economic Empowerment)
