We support Business Coalitions who work with influential businesses on shifting workplace cultures, practices and policy barriers to achieve workplace gender equality (WGE). Business Coalitions are operational in Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Myanmar, with member companies together employing more than 500,000 people.

The Business Coalitions (BCs) provide customised advice and support to companies seeking to improve WGE and benefit from the positive impacts to their businesses. The BCs support companies seeking recognition of their commitment to gender equality by preparing them for certification under Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE), the global business certification standard for gender equality.

IW has invested in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) activities for the following purposes: to build the evidence base around workplace gender equality; track progress and inform decision-making; ensure IW�s accountability to the Australian public and government; and capture lessons that would inform future aid investments.
