Context: India launched the “Alliance for Global Good- Gender Equity and Equality” at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2024 in Davos.
More about the initiative:
Led by the Union Minister of Women & Child Development, the alliance aims to promote women-led development globally. The alliance focuses on global best practices, knowledge sharing, and investments in women’s health, education, and enterprise. Aligned with G20 Leaders’ Declaration, it reflects India’s commitment to women-led development. Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, anchored by the CII Centre for Women Leadership, WEF acts as a ‘Network Partner,’ and Invest India as an ‘Institutional Partner.’
The initiative reinforces India’s commitment to global cooperation and the overarching WEF theme, ‘Rebuilding Trust.’ The launch was complemented by a women’s leadership lounge (We Lead lounge) at WEF, featuring discussions and showcasing products by women entrepreneurs.
