Women, Youth & Vulnerable Groups

More than anyone, traditionally marginalized people—typically women, young people, and those with disabilities—need increased income, job opportunities, and market access. Abt’s commitment to inclusive economic growth means we place equity and inclusion front and center as we work at system and actor levels, intensify attention to human capital and supply, amplify good governance, and advance global learning. As conflict, food insecurity, and climate impacts disproportionately harm those who are least prepared to deal with them, we’ve expanded our definition of equity and what it means to promote equitable benefits.
