Subject: Classification of Projects by Gender

In order to enhance the role of women as one of the outcomes of the specialized lending sector strategy, and to support the developmental and social role of sector institutions in supporting marginalized groups and improving the financial inclusion reality for female entrepreneurs and business owners, all institutions are requested to adopt unified standards for classifying projects according to gender for statistical purposes. Accordingly, the unified definition of women-owned projects shall be any project meeting any of the following conditions:

1. The woman/women own 51% or more of the capital of the establishment/project.
2. The woman/women own 20% or more of the capital of the establishment/project, and the position of Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive/General Manager of the establishment/project is held by a woman.
