The EIB group recognises that gender equality and women’s economic empowerment, youth inclusion, social cohesion and social inclusion are all contributing factors to more resilient, peaceful, stable, and inclusive economies. The EIB seeks to advance progress in these areas through various types of investments across regions and sectors.

a) enhanced access to, use and benefit from, services and products that contribute to their social inclusion and help to narrow existing gender and social gaps;
