FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important source of finance for governments looking to meet global commitments on sustainable development. But, beyond the quantity of FDI, its quality also matters. The FDI Qualities Policy Toolkit complements the OECD Policy Framework for Investment by providing more detailed and tailored guidance on priorities for policy and institutional reforms that can enhance the impacts of investment in four areas of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): productivity and innovation, job quality and skills, gender equality, and decarbonisation.
Policies for improving the impacts of FDI on gender equality
This chapter presents a Policy Toolkit that can help countries improve the impacts of FDI on gender equality. It describes the channels through which FDI can affect gender and shows what policies and institutional arrangements can enhance its contribution to SDG 5. It builds on existing OECD instruments related to investment and gender equality, notably the Policy Framework for Investment, the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the Council Recommendations on Gender Equality in Education, Employment and Entrepreneurship, and on Gender Equality in Public Life.
