To achieve the sustainable and inclusive growth objectives and regard women as an economic engine in the APEC region, APEC member economies have committed to promote their "Individual Action Plan (IAP)" in response to the San Francisco Declaration on Women and the Economy since 2011.
Every year, the Department of Gender Equality assembles government agencies to identify the priority tasks of the IAP what the government agencies promote women's economic participation. Meanwhile, the government agencies also review progress and goals of the IAP which are categorized in the four faces: Access to Capital, Access to Markets, Capacity and Skills Building, and Women's Leadership.
