Report: Gender equality in global value chains

This report is based on a literature review and it aims to highlight gender equality issues linked with integration into global value chains. Furthermore, based on existing research and case studies, good practices are reviewed, and different trade policy and Aid for Trade instruments are analysed with the objective of promoting gender equality and women’s employment in developing countries.

The aim of this report is to support the integration of gender equality issues within trade policy and specifically within the implementation of Aid for Trade initiatives by making concrete proposals to support programme and project design.
