These areas aim to: 1.  Allocate Capital that Drives Inclusion 2.  Make Supply Chains Inclusive 3.  Remove Barriers to Entrepreneurship, Employment, and Leadership (including addressing gender-based violence). Equally important are two cross-cutting themes that are foundational to achieving sustainable results across the priority areas and require action 4.  Bridging the Digital Divide 5.  Accelerating Inclusive and Gender-Smart Climate Action, and  6.  Ending Gender-based Violence and Harassment. As part of its mandate, IFC's Cross-Cutting Vice Presidency includes a dedicated team, the Gender and Economic Inclusion (GEI) Department (GEID), that works with IFC's investment and advisory teams to support private and public sector clients in providing all genders and underserved communities with equal economic opportunities as leaders, employees, entrepreneurs, consumers, and community members.
