We work at all levels—from local to regional—to increase economic opportunities and expand investment and trade; strengthen partnerships among governments, private enterprise, and civil society to promote broad-based, sustainable growth; and improve the responsiveness of public authorities to demand a more supportive business environment, including for women entrepreneurs.

- Expanded economic opportunities through reading and digital literacy skills, education reform, STEM, and workforce development
- Improved business environment for private sector growth and job creation
- Stronger policy measures for continued economic growth in Advanced Middle Income Countries
