Research Work

Women’s empowerment is widely recognized by governments, international development institutions, and businesses globally as essential for human progress, thriving economies, and business success. This is why gender equality and women’s economic empowerment are key priorities in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), women face deeply rooted obstacles to achieving their potential at work and in other aspects of life. Not only does persistent gender inequality affect women, but it also impedes economic and social progress in the region. As the African Development Bank has stated: “Eliminating gender inequality and empowering women could raise the productive potential of one billion Africans, delivering a huge boost to the continent’s development potential.” (BSR Recommendations for Business Action, 2017).

This thesis seeks to evaluate the progress being made by the Sierra Leone government in achieving Goal Five (Gender equality) of the Sustainable Development Goals.
