The APEC Women and Economy 2015 Fora and the Public Private Dialogue on Women and the Economy

On 15-18 September 2015, the Philippines hosted the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Women and the Economy (APEC WE) 2015 Fora, guided by the theme “Women as Prime Movers of Inclusive Growth”. The Fora aimed to develop a set of actionable, measurable and concrete policy recommendations for presentation to the APEC Leaders during their meeting in November 2015.
One of the components of APEC WE 2015 is the Public Private Dialogue on Women and the Economy (PPDWE), which was held on 17 September 2015 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila. The PPDWE was organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which serves as Chair of the APEC WE. Together with the DTI is the Women’s Business Council of the Philippines (WomenBizPh) and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW). WomenBiz is the premier advocate and resource of APEC on issues faced by business women in the Philippine private sector, while PCW is the country’s primary policy-making and coordinating body on women and gender equality concerns. Over 800 attendees from the government, business, academe, and civil society organizations across 19 APEC economies joined the event. H. E. President Benigno S. Aquino III graced the PPDWE as Keynote Speaker.
