Developing countries present investors with compelling opportunities to influence the most substantial improvement in social and economic sustainability per unit of investment. We present a novel framework that seeks to enrich the assessment of sovereign creditworthiness, encourage investment in developing countries and support the pursuit of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) 3, 4, 5 and 8, as well as a host of United Nations Beijing Platform for Action (UN BPA) strategic objectives. The framework is built around the ethos of UN SDG target 10.2, women’s inclusion, equality and empowerment in politics, economics and society, as a tool for transforming regional ecosystems. We explore the framework as a scope for assessing sustainable development, additive to the modern investor's holistic toolbox. The framework, by inherent design, seeks to also promote disclosure around key gender issues and the equality of wealth distribution. |
