SDG 5 – GENDER EQUALITY

ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS

Providing women and girls with equal access to education, healthcare, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and bene t societies and humanity at large. In our approach, Danish consulting engineers seek to ensure that gender equality remain central to all projects that we implement in partnership with IFIs. More speci cally, we work with IFIs to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by mainstreaming gender in all projects and programmes, understanding and targeting gender priorities and by developing gender action plans that identify barriers to gender parity with clear recommendations and actions.


PROJECT: GENDER ASSESSMENT AND ACTION PLANNING – COMPLYING WITH INTERNATIONAL POLICY REQUIREMENTS

As of 2014, 143 countries have guaranteed equality between men and women in their constitutions, but 52 have yet to take this step. Ramboll works globally with leading IFIs to ensure that all relevant performance standards and requirements with regard to gender are being adhered to. Tasks include gender compliance checks, but also we carry out gender assessments and prepare related gender action plans. Providing women and girls with equal access to education, healthcare, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.
