Companies working in natural resources sectors are increasingly recognizing that advancing gender diversity in their workforce is both right and smart business. Yet, women have traditionally been underrepresented in this sector. In this context, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), with the support of the Umbrella Facility for Gender Equality (UFGE), created two toolkits which aim to ensure that both women and men from communities where natural resources projects are implemented can benefit, that women's needs are taken into account, and that women gain access to better employment in these sectors. These tools were published in English, French, and Spanish, and have been adopted by companies and client governments from over ten countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, and Africa.
