According to the International Finance Corporation (ifc.org/corporate governance. April 2014); a broad set of business benefits are associated with gender diversity on corporate boards. These broad benefits include, improved financial performance and shareholders’ value, increased customer and employee satisfaction, rising investor confidence and greater market knowledge and reputation. Governments cannot claim good governance if 51% of the population is represented at 2% in top leadership of government ministries and semi-autonomous bodies. Corporations cannot claim good governance when half the population is not represented. Public policies and institutions must represent the interests of women and men and promote equal access to resources, rights, and voice. This Programme will show improved corporate board performance when the board has an equitable number of men and women. Corporate governance principles will be revisited from a gender perspective.
