Más Mujeres Public Private Partnership for women empowerment in private organizations
Description/achievement of initiative

Transformation iniciative to involve chairmen and CEOs to improve the number of women in their organizations. Our aspiration is to reach 2020 having at least 30% women on boards and executive comitees of IPSA and IGPA Chilean companies. We are challenging CEOs and chairmen in such companies to accelerate progress by voluntary agreements. We recognize that better gender balance leads to better results and that cuotas are not the best arpproach. We have an agenda to reach this aspiration and we are implementing it in colaboration with various stake holders such as business universities, women empowerment ONGs, Media, Head Hunters, Government, etc.

Implementation methodologies

Our plan of activities for this first year 2016 is focused in 3 challenges: 1. Leadership - involve business leaders and other change agents to work on the barriers that are impelling the progress of women in our organizations; 2. Development - make sure that promotion and evaluation systems in our organizations contribute to gender equity; 3. productivity and public policies _ colaborate in public policies definition to improve women participation at all leveles and make sure corresponsibility in our organizations
