Overview
Women, Business and the Law (WBL) is a program of the World Bank that systematically documents and measures legal and regulatory barriers to women’s economic empowerment around the world. The grant will continue to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations in sub-Saharan Africa to understand and use information from WBL to advocate for gender equality reforms, support engagement at the local level, and, organize peer-to-peer knowledge events among policymakers and civil society organizations. The WBL team will develop case studies of successful reforms and targeted country summaries to understand what motivates reform, map challenges to implementation, and prioritize reform efforts in the region.
