Overview
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international financial institution working to achieve sustainable growth and prosperity for its 190 member countries. It does so by supporting economic policies that promote macroeconomic and financial stability and monetary cooperation. This grant will support efforts to assess the economic consequences of gender gaps in economic inputs and opportunities as well as understand the gender differentiated impact of macroeconomic, financial, and structural policies. The overarching goals of the grant are to provide macro-level evidence on the importance of closing gender gaps and boosting inclusion and gender equality and to foster more gender-responsive economic policies.

for support of the Gender and Macroeconomics Conference
This grant will contribute to the Gender and Macroeconomics Conference, which will be held at the International Monetary Fund in March 2017. The grant funds will be used primarily to support travel for approximately 40 researchers from low-income countries. The conference is intended to provide a forum to discuss innovative empirical and theoretical research on gender and macroeconomics, with specific application to the challenges of developing countries. The conference will feature presentations on topics such as barriers to women’s economic empowerment, financial inclusion, gender inequality in wages and employment, and unpaid work.
