The world stands at a pivotal moment for gender equality. As the Center for Global Development marks our 10th year convening the brightest minds in this space, we're confronting unprecedented challenges—and extraordinary opportunities.
Rising debt, fiscal crises, trade tensions, and shrinking aid budgets are reshaping the global development landscape. Alongside this, care systems are under increasing strain and gender rights face growing backlash. As governments scramble to reignite economic growth and create jobs, there's a real risk that gender equality and women's economic empowerment could be pushed to the sidelines.
This year's conference brings together experts and thought leaders from a range of backgrounds to forge an evidence-based path to change. Together, we'll examine key challenges, share rigorous research findings, and uncover practical strategies to keep gender equality at the heart of global development—not an afterthought, but the foundation for sustainable, inclusive growth.
Join us as we inform the next decade of progress.
