More broadly, the protocols are part of an effort to improve the integration of gender into growth constraints diagnostics, an analytic approach commonly used by development organizations, such as MCC, to identify ‘binding’ constraints to economic growth within a particular economy and prioritize policy reforms to ease those constraints.
