The Gender Working Group brings together foundations committed to challenge gender norms and empower women to achieve SDG5. Chaired by Children Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) and Aga Khan Foundation, the group provides an opportunity for foundations to have informed discussions on policy for greater women’s empowerment across countries, better understand where are the gender gaps within social norms, share insights on their respective programmes and identify opportunities to collaborate further.
