Overview
This grant to the Council on Foreign Relations seeks to elevate women’s economic empowerment and financial inclusion on the U.S. foreign policy agenda, as well as in the work of top international and financial institutions. The council will publish a report on the importance of including women’s work in measures of economic productivity, addressing gender constraints and barriers in macroeconomic policy, and supporting strategies to promote women’s financial inclusion and links to growth. This grant will lead to widely distributed policy recommendations to promote the inclusion of gender analysis in future economic policy development, accompanied by a solid communications and advocacy strategy to promote its uptake.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher. It gives its members, government officials, business executives, journalists, educators, students, and others the resources they need to better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries. A longtime grantee, CFR convenes meetings where senior government officials, members of Congress, and global leaders join its members to discuss and debate major international issues. CFR also publishes Foreign Affairs, the preeminent journal of international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. A renewal grant for general operating support would allow CFR the flexibility to continue to respond to breaking international news and trends.
