The Papua New Guinea Business Coalition for Women, with support from the International Finance Corporation, works with members to develop and adopt policies and practices that encourage the participation and leadership of women in the workplace. Global evidence indicates that doing this will improve the bottom line for individual companies. It also lays the foundation for women’s participation and leadership more generally. The work of the Coalition addresses four key areas: reducing violence against women and improving protection, enhancing leadership capabilities of women, developing ‘gender smart’ human resource policies and practices and improving the numbers of women owned businesses in supply chains.
